Solve for x 7>x+2>16

$7 > x + 2 > 16$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $x$ from the center section of the inequality.

Subtract $2$ from each section of the inequality because it does not contain the variable we are trying to solve for.

$7 - 2 > x > 16 - 2$

Subtract $2$ from $7$ .

$5 > x > 16 - 2$

Subtract $2$ from $16$ .

$5 > x > 14$

Step 2

Since the inequality can never be true, there is no solution.

False
