Question

Plz help me get the answer

Answer 1

x < -14

Explanation:

`(1)/(2)x+2<-5\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\(1)/(2)x<-7\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot(1)/(2\!\!\!\1\diagup_1)x<(2)(-7)\\\\x<-14`

Answer 2

Let's isolate (1/2)x. To do this, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation, obtaining (1/2)x < -7.

Next, multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction (1/2):

x < -14
