Solve for x 3x + 3 − x + (−7) > 6 a. x > (−5) b. x > 2.5 c. x > 5 d. x < 5

ANSWER

C. x>5

EXPLANATION

The given inequality is:

3x + 3 − x + (−7) > 6

Deal with the parenthesis first to obtain;

3x + 3 − x −7 > 6

Group similar terms to get:

3x − x> 6-3+7

Combine similar terms to get,

Divide both sides by 2 to obtain:

The correct choice is C. x>5

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
