Ms. Sue
Yes. You're looking for different answers. You're looking for different values for x.

so if i worked it out 3 different ways I would get 3 different answers for x?

doing it like using 5x-2>7

5x+2>7

5x+7>2

Ms. Sue
Let's start with the original inequality.

5x -2 > 7

Add 2 to both sides.

5x > 9

5 times what number is more than 9?

5 * 2 = 10
5 * 3 = 15
5 * 4 = 20

the number 2 is more than 9
