Question

Solve each inequality below. Represent the solutions on number lines. 7x − 2 < 3 + 2x

Answer 1

Hi, I would be glad to help you here.

7x − 2 < 3 + 2x

Move terms

7x - 2x - 2 < 3

Collect the like terms

(7x - 2x) = 5x (<3 + 2 stays the same)

Calculate

5x (<3 + 2 = 5)

5x <5

Divide both sides of the inequality by (5) giving you,

x < 1

So, finally in a total the correct answer here is (x < 1)
