Question

How do you solve the inequality `5 - x >3`?

Answer 1

See solution process below

Explanation:

First, we have to transpose terms in order to leave x alone

`5-x>3` it's the same `5-3>x`; that it's the same `2>x`

The solution are all numbers `x` lower than 2. This the interval `(-oo,2)`. The side in 2 is "open=parenthesis" because 2 is not included in the solution: the numbers must be lower than 2 but not equal to 2
