Answer 11

@amistre64 ok wise guy
what is wrong with this question?
"solve \(-ax+3b>5\) for \(x\)"
is that better?

Answer 12

lol

Answer 13

;) better yes. it could use more color, but thats an asthetic and not really a boo-boo.

Answer 14

Subtract 3b on both sides.
\[-ax>5-3b\]
Divide by -a on both sides.
But we do not know if a is positive or negative so we get stuck there.

Answer 15

I do not know how to get past that. If anyone can explain it.

Answer 16

subtract 5 and add ax ... then declare for a>0 and a<0 when dividing off the a

Answer 17

Oh.

Answer 19

The w has to be capital.

Answer 20

Its too colorful it hurts me eyes...

Answer 21

3b - 5 > ax

if a < 0 then (3b-5)/a < x

if a > 0 then (3b-5)/a > x

Answer 22

you cannot get past it
it was written by an idiot who assumes that \(-a\) is negative because of the minus sign
thus forever confusing people about what a variable is

Answer 23

Yes. I was right.

Answer 24

lol

Answer 25

@confluxepic yes you are right
