Answer:
x > -5.73
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
−1.5x − 3.1 < 5.5
First, we need to collect like terms
-1.5x < 3.1 + 5.5
Then we perform addition operation on the right hand side of the inequality
-1.5x < 8.6
Divide through by -1.5. This will change the sign of the inequality because of the negative 1.5
-1.5x/-1.5 > 8.6/-1.5
x > -8.6/1.5
x > -5.73
Hence the solution of the expression, −1.5x − 3.1 < 5.5 is x > -5.73
