-5x+20<5 solve for x

x > 3

Step-by-step explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations, in this inequality, start by isolating the x term which in this case is -5x by subtracting 20 from both sides. That leaves you with -5x < -15.

To get x by itself, divide both sides by -5, but watch out.

If you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.

So we have x > 3.

I have also graphed the inequality for you below.

Start with an open dot at 3. The reason for that is because x > 3 but x is not equal to 3 so we use an open dot.

Now, draw an arrow to the right to

represent all numbers greater than 3.

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
