Answer 1

Answer: x < 1/6

Step by Step Explanation: Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−16x+8<2x+5

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

−16x+8−2x<2x+5−2x

−18x+8<5

Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.

−18x+8−8<5−8

−18x<−3

Step 4: Divide both sides by -18.

-18x/-18 < -3/-18

x < 1/6
