Question

What is the answer to this inequality -X+5<-1/3+17=?

Answer 1

Add the numbers: 3+17 = 20

-x + 5 < -1/20

Apply the fraction rule: -a/b = - a/b

-x + 5 < - 1/20

Subtract 5 from both sides

-x + 5 - 5 < 1/20 - 5

Simplify

-x< - 101/20

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)

(-x) (-1) > (-101/20) (-1)

x> 101/20 is the final answer
