Question

Solve the inequality and graph it on the number line 5x<5(x-3)?

Answer 1

This equation is false so no matter what number you put in for `x` it wont work.

Explanation:

To solve for
`5x<(x-3)`
First divide both sides by 5
`x < x-3`
From this we can see that no matter what value we input for x the right side will always be `3` less than the left side however the inequality sign states the left side is smaller than the right side so this equation is false, no matter what number you input for x the left side will always be bigger than the right.

To put this on a number line it would just be a blank number line.
