x/3 - 3 is greater than -5

1 answer

To solve the inequality \( \frac{x}{3} - 3 > -5 \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Add 3 to both sides to eliminate the -3: \[ \frac{x}{3} > -5 + 3 \] \[ \frac{x}{3} > -2 \]

  2. Multiply both sides by 3 to isolate \( x \): \[ x > -2 \times 3 \] \[ x > -6 \]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is: \[ x > -6 \]
