Answer:

9.4

Explanation:

  1. We have I 2 + 5x I = 49
  2. The I I is an inequality sign, which basically means that the answer can't be negative. We can remove these.
  3. 2 + 5x = 49.
  4. Subtract the 2 from both sides.
  5. 5x = 47.
  6. Divide by 5 on both sides.
  7. x = 9.4, or 9
    (2)/(5)

If I am incorrect in my reasoning, please let me know so that I can plan better for my future answers. Have an amazing day.
