Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Find the solution set for the inequality 2x + 3 < 5x - 1.
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 2x + 3 < 5x - 1.
  • Step 2: To isolate x, first subtract 2x from both sides: 3 < 5x - 2x - 1.
  • Step 3: This simplifies to: 3 < 3x - 1.
  • Step 4: Next, add 1 to both sides to get: 3 + 1 < 3x.
  • Step 5: This simplifies to: 4 < 3x.
  • Step 6: Now, divide both sides by 3 to isolate x: 4/3 < x.
  • Step 7: This can be rewritten as: x > 4/3.
