3. 3
Answer: 1 = X
Explanation:
Equation: -5 <3× -8
First Step: You must add 8 to -8 and move it to both sides. The reason why we do this is because on the left side we have 1 number and on the right side we have 2 numbers. We see that the right side has more numbers than the left, so we must move the -8 turning it to a positive 8 (8-8 cancels each other making 0) and adding the +8 in -8 to -5 as well, since we're adding to both sides.
Second Step: Since we added 8 to -5, it equals 3 now 8-5=3. Changing the equation to 3 <3x. Now we have to divide 3 to both sides as well, because we want the x to be by itself. So, 3 ÷ 3 = 1 and 3x ÷ 3 = x
Results: After our extraordinary calculations we recieve
the answer 1=x
