You are trying to "isolate" x on the left side of this inequality, x + 8 > 13. Please subtract 8 from both sides of the inequality. Can you explain why that would help?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Yes I believe that because I want to solve for what x holds (5). But doesnt this solution have infinite solutions?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Let's do the actual work here: x + 8 > 13 -8 = -8 ---------- x > 5 Can you put this inequality into appropriate words? Can you graph this inequality on the number line?
