Algebra.Com's Answer #500327 by LinnW(1048)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First simply \n" ); document.write( "5 - x >= 7 \n" ); document.write( "add -5 to each side \n" ); document.write( " -x >= 2 \n" ); document.write( "multiply each side by -1 which will change inequality direction \n" ); document.write( " x <= -2 \n" ); document.write( "********** \n" ); document.write( "8x - 3 > 29 \n" ); document.write( "add 3 to each side \n" ); document.write( "8x > 32 \n" ); document.write( "divide each side by 8 \n" ); document.write( "x > 4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we have x <= -2 or x > 4 \n" ); document.write( "So draw a number line beginning at about -3 and increment by 1 \n" ); document.write( "Put a left facing bracket at -2 and draw a line left. \n" ); document.write( "Put a right facing paren at 4 and draw line to the right. \n" ); document.write( " |
