Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the inequality 7x - 4 < 2x + 11. What is the solution?
Correct Answer: x < 3
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 7x - 4 < 2x + 11.
  • Step 2: To get all the x terms on one side, subtract 2x from both sides: 7x - 2x - 4 < 11.
  • Step 3: Simplify the left side: 5x - 4 < 11.
  • Step 4: Next, add 4 to both sides to isolate the term with x: 5x < 11 + 4.
  • Step 5: Simplify the right side: 5x < 15.
  • Step 6: Finally, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x: x < 15 / 5.
  • Step 7: Simplify the right side: x < 3.
