5x - 10 > 8x +24 + 2

Answer 5

oh yea sorry my bad

Answer 6

5x - 10 > 8x +24 + 2 Combine like terms.
subtract 5x from both sides


5x - 10 > 8x +24 + 2
-5x -5x
--------------------
-10 > 3x + 26
no you have to subtract -26 from both sides

-10 > 3x + 26
-26 - 26
----------------
-36 > 3x Now you divide 3 from both sides
/3 /3
----------
12 > x
