Math Problem Statement

7-10x>-5

Solution

To solve the inequality 710x>57 - 10x > -5:

Step 1: Subtract 7 from both sides

710x7>577 - 10x - 7 > -5 - 7 10x>12-10x > -12

Step 2: Divide both sides by 10-10

Since we are dividing by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality sign: x<1210x < \frac{-12}{-10} x<1.2x < 1.2

Final Answer:

x<1.2x < 1.2
