Question

Solve 5-3x>-19 What is the answer to this problem

Answer 1

x < 8

Explanation:

5 - 3x > - 19

Subtract 5 from both sides.

- 3x > - 19 - 5

- 3x > - 24

Divide both sides by -3. Remember that, when you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality, by a negative number you must change the direction of the inequality sign.

x < 8

Answer 2

x < 8

Explanation:

5-3x>-19

Solve for x.

Subtract 5 from each side

5-5-3x>-19-5

-3x > -24

Divide each side by -3, remembering to flip the inequality

-3x/-3 < -24/-3

x < 8
