Answer:

The correct first step would be 5<10x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve an inequality, you need to get all of the x values on one side and the other values on the other. You would need to add 2x on each side first so all of the x values would be together on one side. Next, you should add 3 to each side to get 8<10x, and then divide by 10 to get 0.8<x.

In 565656 years, daniel will be 555 times as old as he is right now. how old is he right now?

In 565656 years Daniel will be 555 times as old as he's right now how old is he right now

Let x be his current age.
"In 565656 years" can be represented by the expression x+565656.
"Will be 555 times as old as he's right now" can be represented bas the expression 555x.
The whole question means that the age of Daniel in 565656 years will be 555 times his age now so x+565656 = 555x.
Solving this equation will find x, so his current age.
x+565656 = 555x
You subtract an x of each side, to have variables on a side, and numbers on an other:
565656 = 555x - x
565656 = 554x
You divide each side by 554
x = 1021.

So Daniel is currently 1021 years old.
