Enter your answer as the correct inequality. For example, if your answer is x>42, enter your answer like this: x>42

Answer 1

x < -7

Explanation:

5 - 3x > 26

5 - 3x -5 > 26 - 5

-3x > 21

-3x ÷ -3 < 21 ÷ -3

x < -7

Answer 2

x < -7

Explanation:

5−3x>26

Subtract 5 from each side

5-5−3x>26-5

-3x > 21

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

-3x/-3 < 21/-3

x < -7
