Question

Sovle -5x + 8 < - 2x + 23

Answer 1

_3x>+31 but I am not sure

Explanation:

-5x<-2x+8+23

-3x>+31

Answer 2

x > -5

Explanation:

1.) Add +5x on both sides

-5x + 8 < - 2x + 23

+5x +5x

8 < 3x + 23

2.) Subtract 23 from both sides

8 < 3x + 23

-23 -23

-15 < 3x

3.) Divide by 3 on both sides

-15 < 3x

3 3

-5 < x

Because you divided by a negative, the sign flips

-5 > x
