Answer 2

Answer:

first step is combining like terms, subtract 8x from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

$5-2x <8x-3$

To solve any inequality , move all x terms together

To remove 8x from the right side, subtract 8x from both sides

$5-10x <-3$

So first step is combining like terms

Subtract 5 from both sides

$-10x <-8$

Divide both sides by -10

$x>\frac{4}{5}$
