solve -5x+1>11?

Answer 1

-5x+1>11

-5x > 10

x < -2

Answer 2

1 > 11 + 5x
- 10 > 5x
5x < - 10
x < - 2

Answer 3

As you have read, you switch the > to < when you divide by a negative number. Just in case you do not believe them, you can do the problem differently to get the same answer.

-5x+1>11 subtract 11 and add 5x to both sides
-10>5x divide by 5
-2>x

Answer 4

x< -2


-5x+1>11
-5x>10
-divide both sides by -5. doing this flips the < to a >.
x<-2

Answer 5

x< -2

-5x+1>11
-5x>10
x<-2

Answer 6

-5x+1-1>11-1
-5x>10
x<-2
When u multiply/divide both sides of an inequality by a negative, the inequality switches. i.e. -10x>10 (x<-1

Answer 7

Which ever way you choose or what ever is way less complicated to paintings with. a great style of persons placed letters on the left and numbers on the properly suited. in basic terms try to be consistent. 5x - 11 = x + 21 4x-11 = 21 4x = 32 divide the two facets via 4 x=8 5x - 11 = x + 21 -11 = -4x +21 -32 = -4x divide the two facets via -4 x=8 the two way could be properly suited

Answer 8

-5x + 1 > 11
-5x > 10
5x < -10
x < -2

Answer 9

this is very easy if you just know the steps.

i'm sure you've heard of PEMDAS... well with inequalities you do NOT use it!!!

first you will subtract 1 from both sides so that you have all of the variables (the X's) on one side and the regular numbers on the other side.

this will give you -5X>10

now you need to divide by -5 on both sides to get the X by itself. BUT you must remember that when you multiply or divide by a negative number the inequality SWITCHES SIGNS.

so we have -5X>10
divide both sides by -5
X>-2

but now we switch the sign!!
so the final answer is:

X<-2



done.

Answer 10

x=3
