<>−5.73 ¯​2.93 ¯​5.73 ¯12.9

Answer 1

x>-5.73

Explanation:

Answer 2

x > -5.73

Explanation:

Given

−1.5x − 3.1 < 5.5

First, we need to collect like terms

-1.5x < 3.1 + 5.5

Then we perform addition operation on the right hand side of the inequality

-1.5x < 8.6

Divide through by -1.5. This will change the sign of the inequality because of the negative 1.5

-1.5x/-1.5 > 8.6/-1.5

x > -8.6/1.5

x > -5.73

Hence the solution of the expression, −1.5x − 3.1 < 5.5 is x > -5.73
