Answer 2

Answer:

It is x > -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: -3x + 8 < 23

First, we have to move the constant to the other side. By moving it to the other side, the sign also changes becoming -3x < 23 - 8.

Now we simplify: 23 - 8 becomes 15

New equation: -3x < 15

Finally, we want the X by itself, and to do that, we must divide -3 to both sides. Keep in mind that when we multiply or divide, the sign '<' also changes.

$\frac{-3x}{-3}$<$\frac{15}{-3}$ = x > -5
