solve x - 8 > 5

Answer 1

To solve the inequality x - 8 > 5, we can isolate the x variable by adding 8 to both sides of the inequality:

x - 8 + 8 > 5 + 8

This simplifies to:

x > 13

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 13.

Answer 2

this symbol > is supposed to have a line underneath it, so what would the answer be then?

Answer 3

Apologies for the formatting error. The symbol you are referring to, with a line underneath, is the "greater than or equal to" symbol (≥). For the inequality x - 8 > 5, the solution with the line underneath would be:

x - 8 ≥ 5
