Question

solve for j. -8 + -5j < 2

Explanation:

Step1: Add 8 to both sides

$-8 + 8-5j<2 + 8$
$-5j<10$

Step2: Divide both sides by - 5 and reverse the inequality sign

$\frac{-5j}{-5}>\frac{10}{-5}$ (When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips)
$j > - 2$

Answer:

$j>-2$
