Diamond Oconnell · Answer 1

-8 > - 5x + 2 > - 38 ... subtract 2

-8 - 2 > - 5x + 2 - 2 > - 38 - 2

-10 > - 5x > - 40 ... now divide by - 5, and change inequality sign

-10/-5 < (-5/-5) x < - 40/-5

2 < x < 8

Emerson Maxwell · Answer 2

-8 > - 5x + 2 > - 38

Subtract 2 from all 3 "sides"

-10 > - 5x > - 40

Divide by - 5. Flip the > signs to <.

2 < x < 8
