Respuesta :

The answer to this is B

We need to solve given inequality

[tex] -\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{3}>\frac{3}{5} [/tex]

We can start by multiplying both side by common denominator so that fractions get removed.

common denominator of given denominators 2, 3 and 5 will be 30. So let's multiply both side by 30

[tex] -\frac{1}{2}x*30+\frac{1}{3}*30>\frac{3}{5}*30 [/tex]

[tex] -\frac{30}{2}x+\frac{30}{3}>\frac{90}{5} [/tex]

[tex] -15x+10>18 [/tex]

[tex] -15x>18-10 [/tex]

[tex] -15x>8 [/tex]

[tex] x<- \frac{8}{15} [/tex]

Hence final answer is [tex] x<- \frac{8}{15} [/tex].
