Question 393013


{{{5-x-2>3}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{-x+3>3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-x>3-3}}} Subtract {{{3}}} from both sides.



{{{-x>0}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x<(0)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number. 



{{{x<0}}} Reduce.
