Question

25 subtracted from the producd of a number and 7 is less than - 39

Answer 1

Answer:

equation: 7x - 25 < -39

solution: x < -2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

"product of a number and 7" : 7x

"25 subtracted from the product ..." : 7x - 25

"..... is less than -39) : 7x - 25 < -39

solving equation

7x - 25 < -39  (add 25 to both sides)

7x < -39 + 25

7x < -14  (divide both sides by 7)

x < -14 / 7

x < -2
