Question

Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality.

Answer 1

Answer:

$>x > \frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 – 8x < 2x + 3$

Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality, we get

$= \: - 3 + 5 - 8x < 2x + 3 \\ = \: > 2 - 8x < 2x$

Subtract 2x from both sides, we get

$= \: > 2 - 8x - 2x < 2x - 2x \\ = \: > 2 - 10x < 0 \\ = \: > - 10x < 2 \\ = \: > \frac{( - 10)x}{( - 10)} > \frac{( - 2)}{( - 10)} \\ = >x > \frac{1}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:

I'm slightly confused with the way you wrote the question xD

But I believe you were asking what step 2 is

In that case the answer would be the 4th choice.

Add 8x to both sides of the inequality.
