Question 213482
Which is a solution of -8x + 5 > 11?


Step 1.  Add 8x-11 to both sides of the equation.


Step 2.  -8x+5+8x-11 > 11+8x-11 OR -6>8x 


Step 3.  Divide 8 on both sides to get x by itself


{{{-6/8>8x/8}}}


{{{x>-6/8=-3/4}}}


{{{x>-3/4}}}


{{{x>-0.75}}}


{{{number_line( 600, -10, 10, -0.75, 10)}}}


ANSWER:  Where the solution goes from the red dot at -0.75 toward pass the green dot.


I hope the above steps were helpful.
