Question

Solve the inequality –3v – 2v > 35 for v.

Answer 1

`{\huge \boxed{V<-7}}`

Explanation:

Add similar into elements. Add the numbers from left to right.

-3v-2v=-5v

Simplify.

-5v>35

Multiply by -1 from both sides of equation.

(-5v)(-1)<35(-1)

Simplify.

35(-1)=-35

5v<-35

Divide by 5 from both sides of equation.

5v/5<-35/5

Simplify, to find the answer.

-35/5=-7

v<-7 is the correct answer.

I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day!

Answer 2

-7 > v OR vice-versa [v < -7]

Explanation:

Combine like-terms [-5v > 35], then divide by -5.

NOTE: Since you are dividing by a negative, reverse the sign.
