Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the inequality 3x + 5 < 2x + 8.
Correct Answer: x < 3
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 3x + 5 < 2x + 8.
  • Step 2: To isolate x, first subtract 2x from both sides: 3x - 2x + 5 < 8.
  • Step 3: This simplifies to: x + 5 < 8.
  • Step 4: Next, subtract 5 from both sides: x + 5 - 5 < 8 - 5.
  • Step 5: This simplifies to: x < 3.
