Question

How do you solve `7v<42`?

Answer 1

Divide each side of the inequality by `7`. See full explanation below:

Explanation:

Divide each side of the inequality by `color(red)(7)` to solve for `v` and keep the inequality balanced.

`(7v)/color(red)(7) < 42/color(red)(7)`

`(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(7)))v)/cancel(color(red)(7)) < 6`

`v < 6`
