Solve the inequality -12> x-7
bad i dont like this
To solve the inequality -12 > x - 7, we need to isolate the variable x.
1. First, let's get rid of the -7 on the right side of the inequality by adding 7 to both sides:
-12 + 7 > x - 7 + 7
Simplifying this will give us:
-5 > x
2. Now, we have -5 > x. To rewrite this inequality in a more standard form, we need to swap the positions of the x and -5, which means we need to flip the inequality sign:
x < -5
So, the solution to the given inequality is x < -5.
add 7:
-5 > x
An inequality is treated just like an equation, except that multiplying/dividing by a negative value reverses the carat (< to >).
Add 7 to both sides.
