So lets solve both of the inequalities.
a) 5x-29> -34
Lets put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other side. Every variable or number that will change signs, will have their sign changed from a + into a - and vice versa.
5x>-34+29
5x > -5
Divide both sides with 5.
5x/5 > -5/5
x > -1
b)2x+31<29
Lets put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other side. Every variable or number that will change signs, will have their sign changed from a + into a - and vice versa.
2x <29-31
2x < -2
Divide both sides with 2.
2x/2 < -2/2
x < -1
