Question

. What are the solutions of the inequality? Check the solutions.3x + 8 is less than –1

Answer 1

We have the next inequality

`3x+8<-1`

And we must find its solutions

1. We must substract 8 from both sides

`\begin{gathered} 3x+8-8<-1-8 \\ 3x<-9 \end{gathered}`

2. We must divide both sides by 3

`\begin{gathered} (3x)/(3)<-(9)/(3) \\ x<-3 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

`x<-3`
