thank you!

Answer 1

x < 5

Explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

5x + 3 > 9x − 17

step 2: subtract 9x from both sides.

5x + 3 − 9x > 9x − 17 − 9x − 4x + 3 > − 17

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides.

−4x + 3 − 3 > − 17 −3 − 4x > − 20

step 4: divide both sides by -4.

-4x/-4 > -20/-4

x < 5

Answer 2

x<5

Explanation:

2x-7+3x+10>x-6+8x-11

5x+3>9x-17

5x-9x>-17-3

-4x>-20

x<5
