Weegy: -3 -3
Divide each term in the inequality by 3.
(3(5x-16))/(3)>-(3)/(3)
Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common factors.
5x-16>-(3)/(3)
Simplify the right-hand side of the inequality by simplifying each [ term.
5x-16>-1
Since -16 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by adding 16 to both sides.
5x>16-1
Subtract 1 from 16 to get 15.
5x>15
Divide each term in the inequality by 5.
(5x)/(5)>(15)/(5)
Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common factors.
x>(15)/(5)
Simplify the right-hand side of the inequality by simplifying each term.
x>3
c. x > 3 is the answer. ]
User: Solve the equation.
x - 9 = -6x + 5
A. 14
B. 7
C. 2
D. 21
Weegy: The answer is x=2.
(More) 5
6 = 2(x + 8) - 5x
6 = 2x + 16 - 5x
3x = 16- 6 = 10
x = 10/3 = 3 1/3
The solution for the equation 6 = 2(x + 8) - 5x is B. 3 1/3

x - 9 = -6x + 5
x + 6x = 5 + 9
7x = 14
x = 14/7 = 2
The solution for the equation. x - 9 = -6x + 5 is C. 2
