Question

. What are the solutions of the inequality? Check the solutions.3x + 8 is less than –1

Answer 1

We have the next inequality

$3x+8<-1$

And we must find its solutions

1. We must substract 8 from both sides

$\begin{gathered} 3x+8-8<-1-8 \\ 3x<-9 \end{gathered}$

2. We must divide both sides by 3

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3x}{3}<-\frac{9}{3} \\ x<-3 \end{gathered}$

ANSWER:

$x<-3$
