Solve for x: −2x + 5 < 7do you like to see people

x > -1

-2x+5 < 7

-2x<2

Now since you divide by (-1) to get positive 2,you need to flip the sign

(-2)/(-1)= 2     2/(-1)=-2

SO

2x>-2

x > -1

To check  the solution do not replace the x by -1 because it shouls be more than -1  (You can choose 0,1,2,3)

Example  choose x=3

-2x3+5<7

-6+5<7

-1<7

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
