Answer :5 < 10x - 3
correct first step in solving 5 – 2x < 8x – 3
While solving inequalities we always combine like terms
We try to move x terms on one side. so we remove -2x from left hand side
To remove -2x , we do opposite operation
Opposite of -2x is +2x. so we add 2x on both sides.
5 – 2x+ 2x < 8x +2x – 3
5 < 10x - 3
5 < 10x - 3 is a correct first step in solving 5 – 2x < 8x – 3
