Question

Solve for x.

-ax + 3 b > 5

Answer 1

-ax + 3b > 5
-3b -3b

-ax > 5 - 3b

divided everything by -a

x < (-5/a) + (3b/a)

Answer 2

If you want it in as one fraction: x < (3b-5)/a

Answer 3

Now, I can't I have 3b in the front of 5?

Answer 4

Plus, there isn't an answer for that one. I got:

x < 3b + 5 over a

Answer 5

(3b/a)-(5/a) = (-5/a)+(3b/a) = (-5+3b)/a = (3b-5)/a

Answer 6

So...the answer is my answer?

Answer 7

3b-5 is all divided by a, not just 5

Answer 8

I know, but there isn't a choice for that answer. :/
