2< x - ?

Answer 2

Explanation:

We have to solve the inequality for x.

Solution is given below.

7x +16 < -5(4 - 5x)....given

7x + 16 < -20 + 25x....distributive property

16 < -20 + 18x ... subtraction property

16 + 20 < 18x.....addition property

36 < 18x

36/18 < x.....division property

2 < x
