Solve the inequality for [tex]x[/tex].

[tex]7 < x + 16[/tex]

Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer :

Let's solve the inequality [tex]\(7 < x + 16\)[/tex] step by step:

1. Start with the given inequality:

[tex]\[
7 < x + 16
\][/tex]

2. Subtract 16 from both sides to isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[
7 - 16 < x
\][/tex]

3. Simplify the left side:

[tex]\[
-9 < x
\][/tex]

So, the solution to the inequality is [tex]\(x > -9\)[/tex]. This means [tex]\(x\)[/tex] is any number greater than [tex]\(-9\)[/tex].
