But the answer says x> 3/8

Is it possible the answers are wrong xD? Because im confused

Which is the right answer?

    Mistake: It should be 3x-5>(1/3)(x-2) or 3x-5>(x-2)/3

    3x-5>(x-2)/3=>

    9x-15>x-2=>

    8x>15-2=>

    8x>13=>

    x>13/8

    You are right, Maybe there is a misprint.
