Question

What is the solution to the inequality below?

−x + 5< 20

Answer 1

x>-15 would be the answer!

Explanation:

In the equality −x + 5< 20, you want x to be by its self. First of all, you'll subtract 5 on both sides so now you will have -x<15. Now, you must get rid of the negative so divide -1 to both sides. Oh, looks like you will have to flip the symbol since you're dividing a negative. In the end, you'll have an answer of x>-15.

Answer 2

x>−15

Explanation:

−x+5<20

Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides.

−x+5−5<20−5

−x<15

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

<

15
