Question

5x – (13 – x) >_9x – 7

Answer 1

x<_2

Explanation:

first off solve this like a regular equation the >_ dosent matter till later

so basically first multiply - by 13 and -x so you get -13 and x (multiplying two negatives = a positive)

so its 5x-13+x>_9x-7

add 5x and x to get 6x-13 on one side

then you get 6x-13>_9x-7 then subtract -9x from both sides

so its now -3x-13>_-7 add 13 so you get -3x>_6

then divide both sides by -3 (when you divide an equation with a >< or <_ >_ by a negative number that sign switches) so it will now be x<_2

that your final answer hope this helps :)
