which of the following values are solutions to the inequality -8+2x>5

1 answer

To solve the inequality -8 + 2x > 5, we will isolate the variable x.

Adding 8 to both sides of the inequality, we get:

-8 + 8 + 2x > 5 + 8
2x > 13

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2, we get:

2x/2 > 13/2
x > 6.5

Therefore, any value of x that is greater than 6.5 is a solution to the inequality -8 + 2x > 5.
