You can put this solution on YOUR website! 7a-5<9
Since -5 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by adding 5 to both sides.
7a<5+9
Add 9 to 5 to get 14.
7a<14
Divide each term in the inequality by 7.
(7a)/(7)<(14)/(7)
Cancel the common factor of 7 in (7a)/(7).
(7a)/(7)<(14)/(7)
Remove the common factors that were cancelled out.
a<(14)/(7)
Cancel the common factor of 7 in (14)/(7).
a<(^(2)14)/(7)
Remove the common factors that were cancelled out.
a<2
