solve the inequality

x/5 > 3

1 answer

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

  1. Multiply both sides of the inequality by 5 to eliminate the fraction. Make sure to maintain the direction of the inequality since you are multiplying by a positive number:

    \[ x > 3 \times 5 \]

  2. Perform the multiplication:

    \[ x > 15 \]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is:

\[ x > 15 \]

This means that any value of \( x \) greater than 15 will satisfy the inequality.
