Question

How do you solve `x/5> -3`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the inequality by `color(red)(5)` to solve for `x` while keeping the inequality balanced:

`color(red)(5) xx x/5 > color(red)(5) xx -3`

`cancel(color(red)(5)) xx x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(5))) > -15`

`x > -15`
