Question

Solve the inequality -24<_x-3-8x

Answer 1

x<3

You group like terms .

-24<x-3-8x

-24+3<x-8x

-21<-7x

Then you divide both sides by -7

`(-21)/(-7)`<x

3>x

or

x<3

Answer 2

`x\le \:3`

Explanation:

`-24\leq x-3-8x`

`-24\leq -7x-3`

`-24 +3 \leq -7x-3+3`

`-21 \leq -7x`

`(21)/(7) \leq (7x)/(7)`

`3 \leq x`
