Question

Which value of x is in the solution set of the following inequality -3×+5>17

Answer 1

x < -4

Explanation:

To solve the inequality, use inverse operations.

-3x + 5 > 17

-3x > 17 - 5 Subtract 5 from both sides.

-3x > 12 Divide both sides by -3.

x < -4 Flip the inequality sign since you divided by a negative.
