Step 1: subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality. which is a correct first step in solving 5 – 2x < 8x – 3? step 2: step 3: divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of x. what is the missing step in solving the inequality 5 – 8x < 2x + 3?

Step 1:

Step 2: Adding 2x on both side of inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an inequality

We have to find the first step and missing step 2 in solving the given inequality

We are given that first step

Step 1: Subtract 3 from both side of the inequality

Then we get

Step 1:

Now, we are finding the second step

By simplification

By adding 6 on both side

Step 2: Adding 2x on both side of inequality  

Step 2:

Step 3:Divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of x.

Then we get

Step 3:
