-9 < x/5 - 2

Answer 1

To solve this inequality, we need to isolate x by getting rid of the fraction first.

-9 < x/5 - 2

First, add 2 to both sides:

-9 + 2 < x/5

-7 < x/5

Next, multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction:

-7*5 < x

-35 < x

So the solution to the inequality is x > -35.
