Question

Solve for x. -ax+3b>5

Answer 1

This is a problem of inequalities. An inequality stands for the relationship between two values when they are different. In this problem, we need to solve for x. So, we have that:

$-ax+3b>5$

Subtracting 3b from each side of the equation, we have:

$-ax+3b \mathbf{-3b}>5 \mathbf{-3b} \\ \\ -ax>5-3b$

Multiplying by $-\frac{1}{a}$ the direction of the inequality changes if $a$ is greater than zero, so we have that solving for x the result is:

$-\frac{1}{a}(-ax)$
