Question

What is the answer to 8x-(5x+4)> or = -31

Answer 1

8x - (5x + 4) >

First, simplify brackets. / Your problem should look like: 8x - 5x - 4 >
Second, add 4 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8x - 5x > 4
Third, simplify 8x - 5x to 3x. / Your problem should look like: 3x > 4
Fourth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x > $\frac{4}{3}$

Answer: x > $\frac{4}{3}$
