x>-5/2

well the processes are correct by the arithmetic is wrong...
the steps are
1. subtract 5 from both sides of the inequation.
2. divide both sides of the inequation by -2...
*** remember dividing by a negative means the inequality is reversed...
then answer x > -5/2 is incorrect

well follow the steps shown by @yaysocks but check the arithmetic
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that wasnt the correct answer
OpenStudy (dobby1):
then you divide each side by negative 2 flipping the less than sign making it a greater than sign giving you g>-1
OpenStudy (dobby1):
oops x>-1
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
thats the thing.... someone always gives the answer
