Question

How do you solve the inequality `-3k-2< -17`?

Answer 1

k > 5

Explanation:

So first we need to combine like terms and get variable `k` alone.
`-3k < -17 + 2`
`-3k < -15`
Then divide both sides by `-3`. When you multiply or divide by a negative, you always reverse the inequality symbol.
`k>5`
