Question

Solve the inequality 8(x + 1) > 7(x + 2)

Answer 1

7(2 - x)

Explanation:

Answer 2

x>6

Explanation:

8(×+1)>7(x+2)

(8×x)+(8×1)>(7×x)+(7×2)

8x+8>7x+14

Now subtract 8 and 7x from each side of the inequality to solve for x while keeping the inequality balanced:

-7x+8x+8-8 > -7x+7x+14-8

(-7+8)x+0>0+6

1x>6

x>6
