Question

5. Solve the inequality.

-4(3-X) > 8
a. -5 b. x < -5
c. 5< x
d. x < 5

Answer 1

`c.`
`5<x`

Explanation:

`-4(3-x)>8\\3-x>-2\\-x>-5\\x>5`

Answer 2

x >5

Explanation:

-4(3-X) > 8

Divide by -4, remembering to flip the inequality

-4/-4(3-X) < 8/-4

3-x < -2

Subtract 3 from each side

3-x-3 < -2-3

-x <-5

Divide by -1, remembering to flip the inequality

x >5
