In this problem, we're being asked to first solve the given inequality.
00:03
And we solve inequalities just like equations.
00:05
So first, we need to remove the preemphasy by distributing the negative 3.
00:09
Negative 3 times x is negative 3x, and negative 3 times 2 is negative 6.
00:15
And we'll bring down the right -hand side.
00:17
Now, the next thing we need to do is get our late terms on the same side of our inequality.
00:22
So i'm going to begin by subtracting the 5x from both sides of our equation, because they'll cancel on the right -hand side.
00:28
And at the same time, i can add 6 to both sides.
00:30
To cancel out the sixes on the left.
00:33
So on the left, we have negative 3x minus 5x, which is negative 8x.
00:38
And on the right, we have 7 plus 6, which is 13.
00:42
So now, to solve for x, we just need to divide both sides by negative 8...
