Question

— 3х +8<15 Please help

Answer 1

Answer:

x > $\frac{-7}{3}$          OR       x > -2.33

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to subtract 8 from both sides, like so:

-3x + 8 < 15

      - 8   - 8

__________

-3x < 7

Divide both sides by -3:

x < $\frac{-7}{3}$

Whenever, you multiply/divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign around. In this case, we divided by a negative:

x > $\frac{-7}{3}$          OR       x > -2.33
