Question 565083: when a student subtract 7 from a number, the result is greater than 5/3 of that number. What are the possible values of x?
Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x - 7 = (5/3)(x - 7)
x - 7 = (5x - 35)/3
3(x - 7) = 5x - 35
3x - 21 = 5x - 35
3x - 5x = -35 + 21
-2x = -14
x = -14/-2
x = 7
