Question

Solve the inequality for x.
22 >x-5

Answer 1

x < 27

Explanation:

22 > x - 5

Subtract x from both sides.

-x + 22 > -5

Subtract 22 from both sides.

-x > -27

Divide both sides by -1. Remember that when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction.

x < 27
