Solve the Linear Inequality: 5-3x>-10 Step-by-Step

Question

Solve the inequality:


5-3x>-10

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Inequality equations will be solved like a regular equation, except for one rule:

If we multiply the entire equation by a negative, we will reverse the inequality sign.

 

We start by moving the sections, so that one side has the variables and the other does not:

-3x>-10-5

-3x>-15

Divide by 3

-x>-5

Divide by negative 1 (to get rid of the negative) and remember to reverse the sign of the equation.

x<5

Answer

5 > x
