Question 186877
Solve the inequality for x:
{{{7(x-2)<-5}}} First, divide both sides by 7.
{{{cross(7)(x-2)/cross(7) < -5/7}}} Cancel the 7's on the left as indicated.
{{{x-2<(-5/7)}}} Now add 2 to both sides.
{{{x*highlight(-2+2) < 2-(5/7)}}} (-2+2 = 0)
{{{x<2-(5/7)}}} Simplify the right side. Substitute {{{2 = 14/7}}}
{{{x<(14/7)-(5/7)}}}
{{{highlight(x < 9/7)}}}
