Question 1141764: which value of x will make the
quality true x -7 greater than -5

Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
start with x - 7 > -5

add 7 to both sides to get x - 7 + 7 > -5 + 7

combine like terms to get x > 2

any value of x > 2 should satisfy the inequality.

for example, 3 - 7 > -5 becomes -4 > -5 which is true.
