I’m missing the right-hand side of the inequality. Do you mean (2/7)x + 5 < ? — if so, what number is on the right?
If you meant a general constant k on the right, (2/7)x + 5 < k, you solve it like this:
- (2/7)x < k − 5
- multiply both sides by 7/2 (positive, so inequality direction stays the same):
x < (k − 5) * 7/2
Example: if the inequality is (2/7)x + 5 < 0, then
x < (0 − 5) * 7/2 = −35/2 = −17.5.
If instead you meant 2/(7x + 5) < something, that’s a different type of inequality (you must consider the sign of the denominator). Tell me which one you meant and the right-hand side and I’ll solve it step-by-step.
