Question

1. On a number line, graph the solution to the inequality -5(x + 1) > 7x +31? Also, write thesolution in interval notation.

Answer 1

We have the following:

`\begin{gathered} -5\cdot\left(x+1\right)>7x+31 \\ -5x-5>7x+31 \\ -5x-5+5>7x+31+5 \\ -5x-7x>7x+36-7x \\ -12x>36 \\ x>(36)/(-12) \\ x<-3 \end{gathered}`

interval notation:

`(-\infty,-3)`

graph:
