Math Problem Statement

8x−10∣ ​

5

Solution

To solve the inequality:

8x10>58x - 10 > 5

Follow these steps:


Step 1: Isolate the variable term.

Add 1010 to both sides:

8x>5+108x > 5 + 10

Simplify:

8x>158x > 15


Step 2: Solve for xx.

Divide both sides by 88 (since 8>08 > 0, the inequality direction remains unchanged):

x>158x > \frac{15}{8}


Step 3: Simplify (if needed).

Convert 158\frac{15}{8} to a mixed number or decimal:

x>1.875x > 1.875


Final Answer:

x>158orx>1.875x > \frac{15}{8} \quad \text{or} \quad x > 1.875


Notes:

  • The solution represents all values of xx greater than 1.8751.875.
  • If you graph it on a number line, you'd place an open circle at 1.8751.875 and shade the region to the right.
