@Mehek14

Mehek (mehek14):

first move 3b to the other side

OpenStudy (bezerkhd):

\[3b/3b>5/3b\]

OpenStudy (bezerkhd):

right?

Mehek (mehek14):

no o.o just subtract -ax + 3b - 3b > 5 - 3b -ax > 5 - 3b

Mehek (mehek14):

then you divide -a on both sides

OpenStudy (bezerkhd):

lol i'm terrible at algebra :/

OpenStudy (bezerkhd):

Wouldn't that make the answer \[x > 5-3b/-a\]

OpenStudy (bezerkhd):

Making the answer B.

Mehek (mehek14):

correct :)

OpenStudy (bezerkhd):

Thanks! :D

Mehek (mehek14):
