Question

Solve for x: -2x + 5 < 7​

Answer 1

`x>-1`

Explanation:

Solve for x:
`-2x+5<7`

To solve this inequality, we must minus 5 from both of the sides.

`-2x+5-5<7-5`

This equals

`-2x<2`

Now we'll make this into a fraction and divide both sides by -2.

`(-2x)/(-2) <(2)/(-2)`

After we divided, we got our answer.

`x>-1`

Hope this helps!
