Maryjane Howe · Answer 1

A. x > - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (x - 3) > 5 - 5x

-3x + 9 > 5 - 5x Subtract 9 from both sides and add 5x to both sides:

-3x + 5x = 5 - 9

2x > - 4

x > - 2.

Jacqueline · Answer 2

x >-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (x - 3) > 5 - 5x

Distribute

-3x + 9 > 5-5x

Add 5x to each side

-3x + 9+5x > 5-5x+5x

2x + 9> 5

Subtract 9 from each side

2x+9-9>5-9

2x > - 4

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 >-4/2

x >-2
