12x+740

solve for x

x 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 7 < - 11

x < - 1.5

5x - 8 > 40

5x > 48

x > 9.6

x 9 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

12x+740

Solve the inequalities separately

12x+7<-11

Subtract 7 from each side

12x+7-7<-11 - 7

12x < - 18

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 < - 18/12

x < - 3/2

Then solve the other inequality

5x-8>40

Add 8 to each side

5x-8+8>40+8

5x>48

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 >48/5

x > 9 3/5

Put them back together with the OR in the middle

x 9 3/5
