Answer 1

Answer:

X<-11

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5<-22

2x<-22

x<-11

Answer 2

Answer:

I'm wrong!

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5<-17

Subtract five from both sides

2x<-22

Divide both sides by 2 and remember to flip the sign when you divide

x>-11 is wrong

My answer is wrong because you flip the sign when you divide by a negative number.

x<-11 is correct
