Solve the inequality Please

Question

The inequality -3.8 + C < 1.5 can be solved by performing a single operation on both sides. State the operation, indicating whether or not the inequality changes direction. Solve the inequality

Answer 1

Add 3.8 to both sides. This solves the equations for C. C = 5.3. The inequality does not change directions. The inequality would change directions if BOTH sides were multiplied or divided by a negative.

Answer 2

-3.8 + C < 1.5

-3.8 +C + 3.8 < 1.5 + 3.8

C < 5.3

This equation is so straightforward and you don't have to change the inequality sign, unless you dividing or multiplying by a negative number on both sides.
