5 < 6x – 3
3x < 8x – 3
5 < 10x – 3
2 – 2x < 8x

Option (c) is correct.

A correct first step in solving 5 – 2x < 8x – 3 is  5 < 10x – 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality 5 – 2x < 8x – 3

We have to choose from the option the first step to solve the inequality,

Consider the given inequality 5 – 2x < 8x – 3

First  Add 2x from both side, we have,

On simplify , we have,

Add 3 both sides, we have,

On simplify , we have,

Divide by 10 both sides , we have,

Thus, a correct first step in solving 5 – 2x < 8x – 3 is  5 < 10x – 3
