select the reason for each step from the drop down menus.

7x+16< -5(4-5) - given

7x+16< -20+25x - distributive property

16< -20+18x - ?

36< 18x - ?

2< x - ?

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve  the inequality for x.

Solution is given below.

7x +16 < -5(4 - 5x)given

7x + 16 < -20 + 25xdistributive property

16 < -20 + 18x ... subtraction property

16 + 20 < 18xaddition property

36 < 18x

36/18 < xdivision property

2 < x

the one below it is a function
