Question

How do you solve `8x + 3> - 149`?

Answer 1

`x> -19`

Explanation:

`8x + 3 > -149`
Let's start by subtracting `color(red)(3)` from both sides
`8x cancel(+3) color(red)cancel(-3)> -149 color(red)(-3)`
`8x > -152`
Then, divide both sides by `color(blue)(8)` to find `x`
`(cancel8x)/cancelcolor(blue)8 > (-152)/color(blue)(8)`
`x > -19`
