Full solution

Q. Solve for xx. \newline7x<7.31+8.7x7x < 7.31 + 8.7x\newlineWrite your answer with xx first, followed by an inequality symbol.\newline______
  1. Isolate variable xx: Isolate the variable xx on one side of the inequality.7x < 7.31 + 8.7x7x - 8.7x < 7.31-1.7x < 7.31
  2. Divide and flip inequality: Divide both sides by 1.7-1.7 to solve for xx, remembering to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number.\newline-1.7x / -1.7 > 7.31 / -1.7\newlinex > -4.3
