Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5 + 7x < -51, we can first subtract 5 from both sides:

7x < -51 - 5
7x < -56

Then, we divide both sides by 7:

x < -56/7

Simplifying further, we have:

x < -8

To graph the solution on the number line, we plot an open circle at -8 and shade everything to the left of -8.
