To solve the inequality 5(x - 3) - 6(x - 2) > 8x + 2, we need to simplify the expression on both sides and then solve for x.
First, distribute 5 and 6 to their respective terms:
5x - 15 - 6x + 12 > 8x + 2
Combine like terms:
-x - 3 > 8x + 2
Add x to both sides:
-3 > 9x + 2
Subtract 2 from both sides:
-5 > 9x
Divide both sides by 9 (remember to reverse the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number):
x < -5/9
So the solution is x < -5/9.
Therefore, the answer is:
B) x < 5/9
