Question

Solve the following inequality.8x-5>13-x

Answer 1

x>2

Explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Answer 2

x > 2

Explanation:

8x - 5 > 13 - x Add x to both sides

8x + x - 5 > 13 - x + x

9x - 5 > 13 Add 5 to both sides

9x - 5 + 5 > 13 + 5

9x > 18 Divide both sides by 9

`(9x)/(9)` >
`(18)/(9)`

x > 2
