are you able to solve `-5x + 2 = -38` for x ?

anonymous · Answer

x=8

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

what steps did you take to get that?

anonymous · Answer

I did  -5x + 2 = -38

anonymous · Answer

I'm sorry I'm confused

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

hopefully you subtracted 2 from both sides? and then divided both sides by -5 ?

anonymous · Answer

ohhh i see what you mean. You wanted me to list my steps.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yeah

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

those same steps will apply to solving `−5x + 2 > −38`

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the only difference is that when you divide both sides by a negative number, the inequality will flip

anonymous · Answer

will that make th answer b

when you solved `−5x + 2 > −38` what did you get ?
