Question

Solve the inequality.

x – 7 > –3.1

Answer 1

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\textsf{x - 7}>\large\textsf{-3.1}$

$\large\text{ADD 7 to BOTH SIDES of the equation}$

$\large\textsf{x - 7 + 7}>\large\textsf{-3.1 + 7}$

$\large\text{CANCEL out: -7 + 7 because that gives you the value of 0 and}\\\large\text{NOT the number that is being compared to your x-value}$

$\large\text{KEEP: -3.1 + 7 because this side of the equation helps you find}\\\large\text{the number or value that is being compared to the x-value }$

$\large\textsf{-3.7 + 7 = \boxed{\bf 3.7}}$

$\large\text{So, the number \underline{3.9} is being compared to your x-value}$

$\bullet \large\text{\bf Your circle is O-P-E-N and it's shaded to RIGHT SIDE on}\\\large\text{\bf a number line }\huge\checkmark\\\\\\\large\textsf{Random fact about your equation}\uparrow$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \bf x }> \large\textsf{\bf 3.9}}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
