6x > 4(x-7)+17 can you help me solve this equation? i keep getting x > -5.5 ,

Question

after simplifying to

6x > 4x-11

 

i subtract 4 x from each side

2x > -11

 

divide 2 from each side

 

x> -5.5

 

is my logic sound?

 

I am being told I am incorrect.

Answer 1

6x>4(x-7)+17

6x>4x-28+17

6x-4x>-28+17

 

2x/2>-11/2

 

divide by 2

 

x > -11/2

 

the decimal form would be -5.5, keep as fraction
