Question

Solve this inequality.

Answer 1

`D. x < -7`

Explanation:

`-5x+7 > 42`

`-5x+7-7 > 42-7`

`-5x > 35`

`(-5x)/(-5) > (35)/(-5)`

`x < -7`

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: bring 7 over so -5x > 35. You then divide by -5, which results in you flipping the inequality sign. This ends up in x < -7, or answer choice D.
