Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]Hello![/tex]
[tex]Let's~solve~you~equation![/tex]
[tex]First,~divide~both~sides`by~5 , so~5(x + 5)/5 < 85/5[/tex] [tex]which~will~give~you~x + 5 < 17 ,~then~minus~5~from~both~sides[/tex] [tex]which~should~give~you~x < 12 .[/tex]
Here's how I did it:
→ [tex]Given~inequality: 5(x + 5) < 85[/tex]
[tex]Here~we~have~to~solve~for~"x"so,[/tex][tex]~to~isolated~the~variable~and~constant~we~will~have~to~do~the~following[/tex] [tex]methods:[/tex]
Step 1: Divide both side by 5, we get:
[tex]x + 5 < 85/5[/tex]
[tex]x + 5 < 17[/tex]
Step 2: Subtract 5 on both sides, we get;
[tex]x + 5 - 5 < 17 - 5[/tex]
[tex]x < 12[/tex]
In solution set, we can write it as (-∞, 12)
