Given the inequality:
5 < x + 7
Part I: Solve the inequality. Write your solution as an inequality comparing the variable to the solution. Show and/or explain your work.
To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable, x.
Subtract 7 from both sides of the inequality:
5 - 7 < x + 7 - 7
-2 < x
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > -2.
u sure?
I apologize for the mistake. Let's solve the inequality correctly.
Given inequality: 5 < x + 7
To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable, x.
Subtract 7 from both sides of the inequality:
5 - 7 < x + 7 - 7
-2 < x
Therefore, the correct solution to the inequality is x > -2.
