Please help fast!!! Solve for x.

5x−2>8

Drag and drop a symbol and number into the boxes to correctly complete the inequality.

The answer is greater than 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x – 2 > 8

5x – 2 + 2 > 8 + 2

5x > 10

5x/5 > 10/5

x > 2

Thus, The value of x is greater than 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to isolate x, or put it on one side of the inequality with nothing else. To do this, first add 2 to both sides. We add 2 because it is the opposite of subtracting 2, which is what is happening in the inequality; 5x -2 >8. So:

5x -2 >   8   =   5x > 10

  +2      +2

Now, to get x by itself, we must divide by 5, because it is the opposite of multiplying by 5 (remember, when there is a number next to a variable, it means multiply. So, 5x is the same as 5 * x or 5 times x). So:

5x   >   10    =   x  >  2

÷ 5      ÷ 5

So now that x is all alone on one side, we have successfully simplified this equation.

So, x > 2
