Question

Solve. - 1 3 x > 5

A) x < -15

B) x > -15

C) x > 5/3


D) x < -5/3

Answer 1

its none of them... x<-5/13 divide each term by -13 and simplify.

Answer 2

I'm assuming by the answer choices that you're question is:

-1/3x > 5

Isolate the x. Multiply -3 to both sides

(-3)(-1/3)x > 5(-3)

x > 5(-3)

Remember to flip the sign when you multiply by a negative number

x > 5(-3)

Multiply

x < -15

x < -15, or (A) is your answer

hope this helps
