5 - 8x < 2x + 3

5 - 8x < 2x + 3
-3               - 3  Step 1.
2 - 8x < 2x
   +8x    +8x     Step 2. Missing step
2        < 10x
÷10        ÷10   Step 3.
2/10   < x
1/5     < x

The missing step is add 8x to both sides of the inequality.

The missing step in step 2 is to add 8x to both sides of the inequality.

What is inequality?

An inequality shows the relationship between two mathematical expressions which is denoted by the inequality signs such as (<, >, ≤, ≥).

Given: 5 - 8x < 2x + 3

5 - 8x - 3 < 2x + 3 - 3

2 - 8x  < 2x

Now, add + 8x to both sides

2 - 8x + 8x < 2x + 8x

2 < 10x

2/10 < x

0.2 < x.
