Question

Graph the equation
-2x+9 < 5x-12

Answer 1

Answer: x > 3

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

−2x+9−5x<5x−12−5x

−7x+9<−12

Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides.

−7x+9−9<−12−9

−7x<−21

Step 3: Divide both sides by -7.

−7x/−7 < −21/−7

x > 3

On a line graph it would look like this:
