Question

Solve the following inequality for x

ax + 5 > 13

Responses
A x > 8 - a
x is greater than 8 minus A
B x < 8/a
C x > a/8
x is greater than A over 8
D x > 8/a

Answer 1

To solve the inequality ax + 5 > 13 for x, first subtract 5 from both sides:

ax > 8

Then, divide by a to isolate x:

x > 8/a

Therefore, the correct answer is B: x < 8/a.
