I dont even know how to start this one 5(x-1)<3x +10 -8X 5x -5<10-5x 5x-5+5<10+5-5X 5X<15-5X now I am stuck I think

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the next step is to add 5x to both sides

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what do you get when you do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x+5X<15-5X+5x 10X<15

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then you divide both sides by 10

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

remember to reduce as much as possible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the answer is X <.66667

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no you divided in the wrong order

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and I'd leave it as a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer 3/2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x < 3/2, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay thank you
