Question

Integers that satisfy the inequality 5x - 3 < 12?

Answer 1

To make it easier, we’ll solve for x, as you do.

To get rid of 3, add 3 to both sides.

5x < 15

Now divide by 5.

x < 3

x is less than 3.

Some integers that satisfy this equation are:

2, 2.9, -10, and anything else below the number 3.
