Solving Inequalities Practice

x + 5 > 7

• x > -2

• x > 2

• x > 12

• x > -12

Here's the exception! When you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality by a negative number, you must flip/reverse the inequality sign!

• Got it! Just like in the video!

• Hmmm, I hope I remember. Feeling shaky!
