Question

Solve for x:-ax+3b>5

Answer 1

Our current equation is:
-ax + 3b > 5

Our objective is to solve for x, so let's first get -ax by itself.
Subtract 3b from both sides.

-ax > -3b + 5
Now, we have -a multiplying x, so we need to perform the opposite order of operations (like previously shown with 3b).
Divide both sides by -a.
Remember to flip the inequality when multiplying or dividing by a negative.

x <_ (-3b + 5)/-a is your final answer.

I hope this helps!
