Given the inequality equation:
-15 + 8x > 8x - 3x
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we first combine similar terms.
-15 + 8x > 8x - 3x
-15 + 8x > 5x
Transpose -15 and 5x to the opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
8x - 5x > 15
3x > 15
Divide both sides by 3 in order to cancel out 3x, leaving behind x.
3x/3 > 15/3
x > 5
Final answer:
x > 5
