Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the inequality -5x + 3 < 2. What is the solution?
Correct Answer: x > 1
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality -5x + 3 < 2.
  • Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with x. This gives you -5x < 2 - 3.
  • Step 3: Simplify the right side. 2 - 3 equals -1, so now you have -5x < -1.
  • Step 4: To solve for x, divide both sides by -5. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.
  • Step 5: Dividing -1 by -5 gives you x > 1.
