There are three steps:<span>
1.)Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right.
2.)Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y≤ or y≥, and a dashed line for y< or y>)
<span>
3.)Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y> or y≥) or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤).</span></span>
3x + 2 = 5x - 8
Flip
5x - 8 = 3x + 2
Subtract both sides by 3x
2x - 8 = 2
Add both sides by 8
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2
x = 5
That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)

Y=14.5
x=7
40=(34-2x)+(3x-1)
140=(3y+6)+(5y+18)
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope of a line function is always the factor of x.
in our case : -1/4
it is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units.
in our case y decreases by 1 for every x increase by 4.
now, the perpendicular slope simply changes x and y upside-down and flips the sign.
in our case it is : 4/1 = 4
so, the line function in point slope form is then (using the new slope and the point coordinates)
y - 3 = 4(x - 1)
