Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the inequality 7x - 5 < 2x + 10. What is the solution?
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 7x - 5 < 2x + 10.
  • Step 2: To get all the x terms on one side, subtract 2x from both sides: 7x - 2x - 5 < 10.
  • Step 3: This simplifies to: 5x - 5 < 10.
  • Step 4: Next, add 5 to both sides to isolate the term with x: 5x < 10 + 5.
  • Step 5: This simplifies to: 5x < 15.
  • Step 6: Finally, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x: x < 15 / 5.
  • Step 7: This simplifies to: x < 3.
