Solve: 3x - 7 < 2
Answer Subtract x : x - 5 > -2 Add 5: x > 3
Solve: 2 - 5x 3x - 14
Answer Subtract 2 : -5x >= 3x-16 Subtract 3x : -8x >= -16 Divide by -8 and change the inequality x <= 2
Choose one: a b c d
Answer Multiply through the parentheses: 2y+2 <= y-4 Subtract y : y+2<= -4 Subtract 2 : y<= -6 We don't change the direction of the inequality, because we didn't multiply or divide by a negative.
-2x + 5 > 17 ?
Choose one: -8 -6 -4 12
