What is the correct solution of the inequality 5x − 2 > 3x + 8?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x > 5

Solve the inequality by collecting variable terms on one side and constants on the other. Starting with 5x − 2 > 3x + 8, subtract 3x from both sides to obtain 2x − 2 > 8. Add 2 to both sides, giving 2x > 10. Dividing by the positive number 2 preserves the direction, so x > 5. Therefore option A is correct. The endpoint is excluded because the original sign is strict: when x = 5, both sides equal 23, so 23 > 23 is false. Options B and D reverse or mis-handle the direction, while C incorrectly includes the equality case.
