To solve the inequality 5a - 24 > 16, we need to isolate the variable a on one side of the inequality sign.
First, we add 24 to both sides of the inequality:
5a - 24 + 24 > 16 + 24
Simplifying:
5a > 40
Next, we divide both sides by 5:
5a/5 > 40/5
Simplifying:
a > 8
Therefore, the solution to the inequality 5a - 24 > 16 is a > 8.
Solve the following inequality.
5a - 24 > 16
