Question

The solution to 5−3x > 35 is either x > -10 or -10 > x. Which solution is correct? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

In this question, you would have to solve the inequality to find your solution.

Solve:

5 - 3x > 35

subtract 5 from both sides

-3x > 30

divide both sides by -3, while also flipping the inequality

x < -10

x < -10 is the same as -10 > x

So the correct solution set would be -10 > x

Answer:

-10 > x

Answer 2

Answer:

x > -10

Step-by-step explanation:

5-3x > 35

-3x > 30

x > -10
