To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality sign.
3 > 8 + 5x
Subtract 8 from both sides:
-5 > 5x
Divide by 5 (remember to flip the inequality sign since we are dividing by a negative number):
-1 > x
So, we have x < -1.
The only value that satisfies this inequality is -9, so the correct answer is II only.
Which of the following values are solutions to the inequality 3, is greater than, 8, plus, 5, x, question mark3>8+5x?
I., minus, 1, II., minus, 9, III., 1
