Question

10x - 5 <41 - 53
solve the inequality below for x

Answer 1

-0.7

Explanation:

10x<41-53+5

10x<-7

x<-7/10 or -0.7

so x has to be less than -0.7

Answer 2

`x<-(7)/(10)`

Explanation:

`10x - 5 <41 - 53`

`10x-5<-12`

Add 5 to both sides:

`10x-5+5<-12+5`

`10x<-7`

Divide both sides by 10:

`(10x)/(10)<(-7)/(10)`

`x<-(7)/(10)`
