Solve this like any other equation with an equals sign:
(with one caveat)..
-5x + 1 > 11
Subtract 1 from both sides:
-5x > 11 – 1
-5x > 10
Now multiply each side by -1,
(this reverses the inequality sign – the caveat)
(-1)*(-5x) < (-1)*(10) 5x < -10 Divide both sides by 5 : x < -10 / 5 x < - 2 This is to say that all numbers LESS than (- 2) is the solution. ----------------------- ** Always check your answer ** if x < - 2, then to check, we'll pick a number slightly less than -2, right? -5(-2.01) + 1 > 11
10.05 + 1 > 11
11.05 > 11
Good luck in your studies,
