Question

Solve the inequality 0 > –3x – 2x

Answer 1

0 > -3x - 2x
0 > -5x...divide by -5 and change inequality sign
0/-5 < x......a fraction with a numerator of 0 = 0
0 < x <==

Answer 2

Hence, x>0 is the solution of the given inequality.

Explanation:

We have to solve the inequality: -3 x-2 x<0

⇒ -5 x<0

now on multiplying both side by -1 we get 5 x>0 ( Since after multiplying by a negative quantity the inequality sign get interchanged)

now on dividing both side of the inequality by 5 we get that x>0.

Hence, x>0 is the solution of the given inequality.
