Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. 3 < x - 5 answer attempt 1 out of 2 < > ≤ ≥ or inequality notation: number line: -12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x

Add 5 to both sides of the inequality $3 < x - 5$.
$3+5

Step2: Simplify

$8 < x$ or $x>8$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x > 8$
On the number - line, we use an open circle at 8 (since 8 is not included in the solution set) and draw an arrow to the right of 8 to represent all the numbers greater than 8.
