What is the solution to the inequality? 5x + 8 > –12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x>-4 or X< 4 or x < -4 or x> 4

sammixboo (sammixboo):

First, subtract 8 on both sides of the equation 5x + 8 - 8 > -12 - 8 5x > -12 - 8 What is -12 - 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-20

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Right, so now divide 5 on both sides of the equation 5x/5 > -20/5 x > -20/5 What is -20/5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Right, so x > -4
