-5x%2B3%3C3x%2B23 Start with the given inequality.


-5x%3C3x%2B23-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


-5x-3x%3C23-3 Subtract 3x from both sides.


-8x%3C23-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-8x%3C20 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%2820%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E-5%2F2 Reduce.
