Question

How do I solve this please help me Im failing Algebra1
-2x+1<7

Answer 1

x>-3

Explanation:

First, isolate the variable. So, move the 1 onto the other side.

Because signs change when moved to the other side, + becomes - .

Then, subtracte. 7-1=6.

DIvide both sides by -2.

-2x/-2 is x, and 6/-2 is -3.

So, x>-3

x > -3

Explanation:

Step 1: Define inequality

-2x + 1 < 7

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Subtract 1 on both sides: -2x < 6
2. Divide both sides by -2: x > -3

Here we see that any value greater than -3 would work as a solution of x.
