Solve the inequality.
5x - 7 < 8x + 8
The solution set is x |

- 5 < x

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable: x

5x - 7 < 8x + 8

Subtract 5x from both sides

5x -  5x -7 < 8x -5x + 8

- 7 < 3x + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides

- 7 -8 < 3x + 8 -8

-15< 3x

Divide both sides by 3

- 15/3< 3x/3

- 5 < x

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
