Answer is C. x < 1

Question: which number line shows the solution of 5x-8<-3

Solve 5x - 8 <-3

Add 8 to both sides to isolate variable

5x -8 +8 < -3 + 8
Simplify

5x < 5
Divide both sides by 5 to solve

5/5 x < 5/5
Simplify

x < 1

x is less than one, so starting at 1, draw your line to the left (less than)
