Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. -5x < -35 answer attempt 1 out of 2 < > ≤ ≥ or inequality notation: number line: -12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -5

When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes. So, $\frac{-5x}{-5}>\frac{-35}{-5}$.

Step2: Simplify the expressions

$x > 7$.

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x>7$
On the number - line, draw an open circle at 7 (because 7 is not included in the solution set) and shade the line to the right of 7.
