Question

What is the solution set of the inequality: 14- 3x < -1

Answer 1

x>5 (Answer should have a positive sign.)

Explanation:

To solve this problem, isolate x from one side of the equation.

First, subtract by 14 from both sides.

14-3x-14<-1-14

Solve.

-3x<-15

Multiply by -1 from both sides.

(-3x)(-1)>(-15)(-1)

Solve.

3x>15

Then, you divide by 3 from both sides.

3x/3>15/3

Solve.

15/3=5

x>5

In conclusion, final answer is x>5.
