Answer:

x< 6
(1)/(5)

Explanation:

7<-5(x -8) - 2 Distribute the 5

7<-5x + 40 - 2

7<-5x +38 Subtract 38 from both sides

-31<-5x Divide both sides by -5


(31)/(5) >x When you divide both sides by a negative number, you must flip the sign.

or

x < 6
(1)/(5)

Answer:

(−∞, 31/5) or x <31/5 (the graph will start a little bit past 6 and will be a open circle and head to the left)
