Question

12x > 7(4x + 5) − 19

(show how you got your answer, plz)

Answer 1

x < - 1

Explanation:

Given

12x > 7(4x + 5) - 19 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify right side

12x > 28x + 35 - 19

12x > 28x + 16 ( subtract 28x from both sides )

- 16x > 16

Divide both sides by - 16 , reversing the inequality symbol as a consequence of dividing by a negative quantity.

x < - 1
