Answer 1

To solve the inequality, you need to divide both sides of the inequality by 7. Since you are dividing by a positive number, the inequality sign remains the same.

56 < 7x

Divide both sides by 7:

8 < x

So the solution is x > 8.

On the number line, you would plot a closed circle at 8 and shade to the right to represent all the values greater than 8.
