Answer:

t < -5

Explanation:

we have the following:

1t + 7 <2

which is the same as

t+7<2

inequalities are solved in a very similar way to an equation, the difference is that as a result instead of a single value we have a range of values.

to solve for t we need to move the +7 to the right side of the "<", so it goes with the opposite sign:

t < 2-7

solving the right side:

t < -5

or the values for t can also be expressed like: (-∞, -5)
