Chapter 3.5, Problem 2E

To determine

To calculate : the value of $2x>-14$ and $-2x>14$

Answer to Problem 2E

The value of the expression is $x>-7$

Explanation of Solution

Given information : Consider, the value of expression provided in the question

  $2x>-14$ and $-2x>14$

Calculation : To evaluate the expression, use the division property of inequality

  $2x>-14$

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{2x}{2}>\frac{-14}{2}\\ x>-7\end{array}$

Now solve another expression

  $-2x>14$

  $\begin{array}{l}-\frac{2x}{2}>\frac{14}{2}\\ -x>7\\ x>-7\end{array}$
