Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

|−5−3x|>2

|−3x−5|>2

Solve Absolute Value.

|−3x−5|>2

We know either−3x−5>2or−3x−5<−2

−3x−5>2(Possibility 1)

−3x−5+5>2+5(Add 5 to both sides)

−3x>7

−3x /−3 > 7 /−3 (Divide both sides by -3)

x< −7 /3

−3x−5<−2(Possibility 2)

−3x−5+5<−2+5(Add 5 to both sides)

−3x<3

−3x /−3 < 3 /−3 (Divide both sides by -3)

x>−1

Answer:

x< −7 /3 or x>−1
