Question

Do the following question 7(x + 3) < 5x + 13?

Answer 1

Answer: 7(x+3) > 5x+13

Step-by-step explanation: so 7 times x plus 3 is equal 21x and 5x plus 13 is equal to 18 x so the grester one is 7(x+3)

Answer 2

x < - 4

Explanation:

7(x + 3) < 5x + 13 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

7x + 21 < 5x + 13 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

2x + 21 < 13 ( subtract 21 from both sides )

2x < - 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x < - 4
