Question

-5x+2<12 please someone help

Answer 1

`x > -2`

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`-5x+2 < 12`

To find this answer we subtract two on both sides then isolate the variable by dividing 5 on both sides.


`-5x+2 < 12`

`2-2=0`

`12-2=0`

`-5x < 10`

`-5x/-5=x`

`10/-5=-2`

`x > -2`

Which means your answer is "x > -2."

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{x > -2}}`

Explanation:

Put the term x on one side of the equation.

-5x+2<12

Subtract by 2 from both sides.

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{-5x+2-2 < 12-2}`

Solve.

Subtract the numbers from left to right.

⇒ 12-2=10

⇒ -5x<10

Multiply by -1 from both sides.

⇒ (-5x)(-1)>10(-1)

Solve.

Multiply the numbers from left to right.

-5x*-1=5x

10*-1=-10

→ 5x>-10

Divide by 5 from both sides.

→ 5x/5>-10/5

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

-10/5=-2

`\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{x > -2}}`

• Therefore, the correct answer is x>-2.
