Question

solve for $x$ and graph the solution on the number line below.

$-5x < -35$

answer attempt 1 out of 2

inequality notation:

number line:

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -5

When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, \(\frac{-5x}{-5}>\frac{-35}{-5}\)

Step2: Simplify

Simplifying gives \(x > 7\)

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \(x>7\)
For the number line: Place an open circle at \(7\) (since \(7\) is not included) and draw an arrow to the right.
