Question

107>5+6x

I can’t solve this inequality please help thank u

Answer 1

You can treat inequalities just like equalities with ONE EXCEPTION which is, when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must switch the inequality around.

107 > 5 + 6x subtract 5 from both sides to get:

102 > 6x now divide both sides by 6 to get:

17 > x

If 17 is greater than "x", that means x < 17 so either of these is an acceptable solution.
