Francisco Hunter · Answer 2

In this question, you would have to solve the inequality to find your solution.

Solve:

5 - 3x > 35

subtract 5 from both sides

-3x > 30

divide both sides by - 3, while also flipping the inequality

x < - 10

x x

So the correct solution set would be - 10 > x

Answer:

-10 > x
