Question

Explain how you would combine like terms and use properties of operations to solve the inequality 5(2t + 3) - 3t < 16

Answer 1

Explanation:

step 1. 10t + 15 - 3t < 16 (distributive property)

step 2. 7t +15 < 16 (combine like terms)

step 3. 7t < 1 (subtract 15 from both sides)

step 4. t < 1/7 ( divide both sides by 7.
