Answer 1

5 is lesser than x

hope it really helps...!!!

Answer 2

x > 5 should be your solution to the inequality.

Explanation:

Your inequality: 14 - 3x < -1

You need to do two-step inequalities which are similar to two-step equations but different since you're using an inequality symbol as opposed to an equal sign.

Steps:

14 - 3x < -1

Subtract 14 from both sides

-3x < -1-14

Solve -1-14

That should be -15

-3x < -15

**You have to switch the inequality due to multiplying negatives rule.

While dealing with inequalities, when multiplying negatives the inequality sign should switch to its opposite.

-3x > -15

x > 5
