Solve for xx and graph the solution on the number line below.

7, x, is greater than, minus, 42
7x>
−42
Answer

1 answer

To solve for x, divide both sides of the inequality by 7 to isolate x:

x > -42/7
x > -6

Graphing this solution on the number line, we show that x is all real numbers greater than -6.
