Question

How do you solve the inequality `5c + 2 < 2c + -7`?

Answer 1

Rearrange to get the variable by itself on the left side of the equation. Then `c < -3`

Explanation:

An inequality can be solved in the same way as an equality, by rearranging the elements while keeping the inequality sign.
`5c - 2c < -7 -2`
`3c < -9`
`c < -3`
