Answer:

5 < 10x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given inequality is:

5 - 2x < 8x- 3

The given inequality has variable 'x' on both sides of the inequality.

In order to solve such inequalities, we bring the variables on the same side as the first step in solving for 'x'.

Therefore, we could either add 2x on both sides or add -8x both sides to bring the variable terms on same side.

If we add 2x both sides, we get:

5 - 2x +2x< 8x+2x - 3\\5

So, among all the given options, third option matches the above inequality.

Therefore, the first step in solving the given inequality is 5 < 10x - 3

RS = 4x – 9, ST = 19, RT = 80 – 14<br><br> Equation:<br><br> 82 – 14<br><br> RS<br><br> RT
algol13

Step-by-step explanation:

The expressions are not properly written

Given

RS = 4x – 9

ST = 19

RT = 8x – 14

Based on the given parameters, the addition postulate below is true

RS+ST = RT

Substitute

4x-9+19 = 8x-14

collect like terms

4x-8x = -14-19+9

-4x = -33+9

-4x = -24

x = -24/-4

x = 6

Get RS:

RS = 4x-9

RS = 4(6)- 9

RS = 24-9

RS = 15

Get RT:

RT = 8x - 14

RT = 8(6)-14

RT = 48-14

RT = 34
