8x+5<-11 or 1/3x+2>5

Answer 1

-2 > x > 9

Explanation:

8x + 5 < - 11 Given

8x < - 11 - 5 Subtract 5 both sides

8x < - 16 Combine like terms

x < -2 Answer

1/3x +2 > 5

1/3x > 5 - 2 Subtract 2 both sides

x > 3 (3) Reciprocal 1/3 to both sides

x > 9 Answer

So, the answer would be - 2 > x > 9.
