00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.239
Here is the problem: x plus 2 greater than 7.

2
00:00:03.689 --> 00:00:07.381
Solve the inequality and give the answer in interval notation.

3
00:00:08.181 --> 00:00:15.681
Move everything to one side and isolate the variable. Collect terms: x minus 5 greater than 0.

4
00:00:16.131 --> 00:00:31.863
Test one point in each interval (sign chart). (-∞, 5): test x equals 4 → sign minus → excluded; (5, ∞): test x equals 6 → sign plus → included.

5
00:00:32.312 --> 00:00:35.226
Decide the endpoints. 5: excluded.

6
00:00:35.676 --> 00:00:37.208
Write the solution set.

7
00:00:38.009 --> 00:00:40.679
So the answer is (5, ∞).

8
00:00:41.129 --> 00:00:56.036
The inequality holds exactly for x in (5, ∞). Points where the expression is undefined are never included, and endpoints are included only for less than or equal to or greater than or equal to where the expression equals zero.

9
00:00:56.836 --> 00:01:00.609
x equals 4: does not satisfy the inequality.

10
00:01:01.059 --> 00:01:04.472
x equals 6: satisfies the inequality.
