Question

Solve 5x + 7 > 17. x x > 2 x x > -2

Answer 1

5x + 7 > 17 can be simplified by subtracting 7 from both sides:

5x > 10 Now solve for x. Div. both sides by 5.

Then x>2, or x > 2 in set notation.

Answer 2

The solution set for the provided inequity is x > 2.

Explanation:

Consider the provided inequity.

`5x+7>17`

Subtract both the side by 7.

`5x+7-7>17-7`

`5x>10`

Now divide both the side by 5.

`(5x)/(5)>(10)/(5)`

`x>2`

Hence, the solution set for the provided inequity is x > 2.
