Treat the inequality signs like equal signs, and solve them like any other algebraic equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "13-7x<55
\n" ); document.write( "13-55 < 7x
\n" ); document.write( "-42 < 7x
\n" ); document.write( "-6 < x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For your interval notation, just draw an open dot (because it's <) on a number line at -6 with an arrow pointing to the right.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x+19 < x-41
\n" ); document.write( "4x < -41 -19
\n" ); document.write( "4x < -60
\n" ); document.write( "x < -15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So x is less than or equal to -15.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This time, draw a closed dot at -15, and the arrow should point left.
