Question

-3x + 5<-16

X(type your answer)(type your answer)

Answer 1

X = 6

Explanation:

-3x < 21
-7*3 = -21
-21=-21
-6*3 = -18

-18 < 21
X = 6 since -3x is -18 and negative cancels each other

Answer 2

x > 7

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides.

• 
  `-3x+5-5<-16-5`
• 
  `-3x<-21`

Step 2: Divide both sides by -3.

• 
  `-3x/-3<-21/-3`
• 
  `x>7`

Therefore, the answer is x > 7.
