Dryer #1 ate a few socks, but only a few, and Dryer #2, the semi-selfish one, had the nerve
to eat 4 more socks than #1. However, it was
the last dryer-Dryer #3—that was the virtual
sock-eating monster. In its short but turbulent
life, it actually consumed 7 more socks than #2
did. If all three dryers ate a total of 51
socks, how many did Dryer #1 eat?

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
