Question

Solve the following inequality:x/3+2>8 . Use the Equation Editor to write your answer as an inequality

Answer 1

Solve this assuming that the greater than sign is actually an equals sign.

x/3 + 2 = 8

x/3 = 6

x = 18

You divided in one step, so that means that you need to flip the sign.

x < 18

Check it by plugging in a number for x into your original inequality, such as 17.
