Question

how do you do 7x > 56

Answer 1

Well. All you do is just divide both sides by 7. That's all.

7x > 56
/7      /7

x > 8.

Answer 2

well, you can do anything to it as long as you it to both sides
(also if you divide or multply by a negaive, you have to flip the sign like from > to < and vice verca)

7x>56
we want only 1x
7/7=1 so
divide both sides by 7 to keep it same
7/7x>56/7
1x>8
x>8

x is greater than 8 but not including 8 is teh solution

x>8
