Question

Answer this equation-3x+2<8

Answer 1

Hey there!☺

`Answer:\boxed{x>-2}`

`Explanation:`

`-3x+2<8`

Let's subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality.

`-3x+2-2<8-2\\-3x<6`

Now divide both sides by -3.

`(-3x)/(-3)<(6)/(-3)`

Simplify 6/-3. Also remember that dividing a positive with a negative will give us a negative.

`6/-3=-2`

`x>-2`

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x > -2

-3x+2<8

Subtract 2 from each side

-3x+2-2<8-2

-3x<6

Divide each side by -3, remembering to flip the inequality

-3x/-3 > 6/-3

x > -2
