Homework Statement


The Questions are 2x - 3 > x + 15
-4 x = 2 < 10 ( I am not sure how to place a line under the < on my computer)
and -5x + 1 < -2x + 10

I have never done these type questions before and if anyone is really good at explaining the answers, I would greatly appreciate it so very much.

Right now, I am checking out the other questions ...hmmm there are more folks then me having trouble with these type questions. I feel more normal now. I am missing my last English class about right now.

These aren't questions: presumably you are asked to solve for x.

Would you be able to rearrange, say, 2x-3=x+15? What would you get?
