Question

Solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided.
7 + 5x < 42

Answer 1

Explanation:

5x<42-7

5x<35

5x/5<35/5

x<7

Answer 2

x < 7

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

5x+7<42

Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides.

5x+7−7<42−7

5x<35

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

x<7

For the graph, draw an open circle at 7 and an arrow pointing left.

Hope this helps! :D
