Isolate x: To solve the first inequality −7x−50≤−1, we need to isolate x. We start by adding 50 to both sides of the inequality.−7x−50+50≤−1+50−7x≤49
Divide by −7: Now we divide both sides by −7 to solve for x. Remember that when we divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality sign.−7x/−7≥49/−7x≥−7
Subtract 70: Next, we solve the second inequality −6x+70>−2. We start by subtracting 70 from both sides of the inequality.−6x+70−70>−2−70−6x>−72
Divide by −6: Now we divide both sides by −6 to solve for x. Again, we must reverse the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number.−6−6x<−6−72x<12
Form System: We now have two inequalities that form our system:x≥−7 (from the first inequality)x<12 (from the second inequality)The solution set is the intersection of these two inequalities, which is the set of all x values that satisfy both conditions simultaneously.
Find Intersection: The intersection of the two inequalities is the set of x values that are greater than or equal to −7 and less than 12. This can be written in interval notation as [−7,12).
