Simplify: (3x+8)/5 > 2x + 1
- Multiply both sides by 5: 3x + 8 > 10 x + 5
- Move 3x to RHS by subtracting 3x from both sides: 8 > 7x + 5
- Move 5 to LHS by subtracting 5 from both sides: 3 > 7x
- Make the coefficient of x equal 1 by dividing both sides by 7: 3/7 > x
- Therefore, x<3/7

The cubic polynomial f(x) is defined by f(x) = 2x^3 -7x^2 + 2x + 3. Given that (x-3) is a factor of f(x), express f(x) in factorised form.
