Solve the inequality.

5x - 7 < 8x + 8

The solution set is x |

-5 < x is correct, I double check her answer

- 5 < x

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable: x

5x - 7 < 8x + 8

Subtract 5x from both sides

5x - 5x - 7 < 8x - 5x + 8

- 7 < 3x + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides

- 7 - 8 < 3x + 8 - 8

-15< 3x

Divide both sides by 3

- 15/3< 3x/3

- 5 < x
