Math Problem Statement

solve

-5 - 7x > -9x + 5

Solution

The inequality you provided is:

57x>9x+5-5 - 7x > -9x + 5

Let's solve this step by step.

Step 1: Move all terms involving xx to one side.

We can add 9x9x to both sides to start isolating xx:

57x+9x>5-5 - 7x + 9x > 5

Simplify:

5+2x>5-5 + 2x > 5

Step 2: Move the constant terms to the other side.

Now, add 5 to both sides to move the constant to the right-hand side:

2x>102x > 10

Step 3: Solve for xx.

Divide both sides by 2:

x>5x > 5

Final Answer:

The solution to the inequality is:

x>5x > 5

Would you like more details or have any questions about the solution?

Here are 5 related questions for you:

  1. How would the inequality change if it were 57x9x+5-5 - 7x \geq -9x + 5?
  2. What happens if you switch the inequality direction? What does x<5x < 5 mean in this context?
  3. Can you graph the solution x>5x > 5 on a number line?
  4. How would the steps change if there were no xx terms on one side of the inequality?
  5. Can you solve an inequality like this if the variable xx appears in both the numerator and denominator?

Tip: Always reverse the inequality sign when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number!
