Question

Can you give me the answer

Answer 1

7x + 3 < 26

x < 7
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

3 more than the product of 7 and a number x is less than 26

Representing it in equation form gives;

7x + 3 < 26

Simplifying gives;

7x < 26 - 3

7x < 23

Dividing through by 7 gives;

x <
`(23)/(7)`

Putting it into proper fraction form gives;

x < 7
`(2)/(3)`

Answer 2

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

7x + 3 < 26

x < 23/7

Discussion:

The question can be written as:

7x + 3 < 26 =>

7x +3 - 3 < 26 - 3 => (subtract 3 from both sides)

7x < 23 =>

x < 23/7 (divide both sides by 7)
