Question

Find the solution to: -2x+7<-41

Answer 1

x<24

Explanation:

take 7 from both sides of the equation

-2x+7-7<-41-7

-2x<-48

then divide both sides by -2 (when you do this the sign flips)

x>24

Answer 2

x>24

Explanation:

Solve like a normal equation :)

-2x<-48

Now we divide.

-x<-24

Note: Whenever dividing by a negative, you have to flip the sign of the inequality!
