Answer:

x>4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Subtract by 5 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>5-2x-5<8x-3-5</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>-2x<8x-8</em>

<em>Subtract by 8x from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>-2x-8x<8x-8-8x</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>-10x<-8</em>

<em>Multiply by -1 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>(-10x)(-1)>(-8)(-1)</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>10x>8</em>

<em>Divide by 10 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>10x/10>8/10</em>

<em>Simplify, to find the answer.</em>

<em>8/10=4/5</em>

<em>x>4/5 is the correct answer.</em>

<em>I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day! </em>

Answer:

Isolating the x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solving this problem is to isolate the variable, x.

To do so, subtract 8x and 5 from both sides.

Step #1)

5 - 2x < 8x - 3

5 (-5) - 2x (-8x) < 8x (-8x) - 3 (-5)

-2x - 8x < -3 - 5

-10x < -8

2. using item 1:
(x+2)²+(y-1)²=3² or (x+2)²+(y-1)²=9.

What is the measure of ∠E?
Inessa [10]
This is a quadrilateral, so the sum of interior angle measures, like a rectangle or square ( who’s interior angle measures are4 x 90) —— is 360

So ...
E + 89 + 130 + 90 = 360
E + 309 = 360
- 309 - 309
E = 51 degrees

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given points.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

y-6=-1/3(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(3-6)/(3-(-6))

m=-3/(3+6)

m=-3/9

simplify

m=-1/3

y-6=-1/3(x-(-6))

y-6=-1/3(x+6)
