Question

3-5x>2x-11 ?

Answer 1

move 5x on other side

Answer 2

It's much easier to solve this sort of inequality if we keep x positive. Since the 2x on the right is already positive, why not ADD 5x to both the left and right sides of your inequality and then combine like terms?

Please write out the results.

Answer 3

3 - 5x > 2x - 11
+5x +5x
3 > 7x - 11
+11 +11
14 > 7x
divide by 7
x < 2

Answer 4

Nice work, DVR, but wouldn't it be better to guide Takara through the solution instead of solving the problem for her?
