To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x. We can start by subtracting 7 from both sides of the inequality:
5 - 7 < x + 7 - 7
-2 < x
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > -2.
Part 1: Solve the inequality. Write your solution as an inequality comparing the variable to the solution. Show and/or explain your work.
5 - 7 < x + 7 - 7
-2 < x
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > -2.
To solve the given inequality, we need to isolate the variable x. We can start by subtracting 7 from both sides of the inequality:
5 - 7 < x + 7 - 7
-2 < x
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > -2.
So, the correct solution to the inequality is x > -2.
Let's solve it correctly this time:
Starting with the given inequality: 5 < x + 7
Subtracting 7 from both sides of the inequality, we have:
5 - 7 < x + 7 - 7
-2 < x
So the correct solution to the inequality is x > -2.
Again, I apologize for the confusion caused. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Given inequality: 5 < x + 7
To isolate the variable x, we need to subtract 7 from both sides:
5 - 7 < x + 7 - 7
-2 < x
This means that x is greater than -2, which can also be written as x > -2.
I apologize for the confusion in my previous explanation. The correct solution is x > -2.
