We need to solve the inequality 54x−(x+3)<31(x−1). First, we simplify the left side:
54x−x−3<31(x−1) 54x−55x−3<31(x−1) −51x−3<31(x−1) Now we simplify the right side:
−51x−3<31x−31 Next, we want to isolate x. Add 51x to both sides: −3<31x+51x−31 −3<155x+153x−31 −3<158x−31 Now, add 31 to both sides: −3+31<158x −39+31<158x −38<158x Now, multiply both sides by 815. Since 815 is positive, we do not need to flip the inequality sign: −38⋅815<x −315<x Therefore, x>−5.
