Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the solution to the inequality 2x + 5 > 3x - 1?
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 2x + 5 > 3x - 1.
  • Step 2: To isolate x, first subtract 2x from both sides: 5 > 3x - 2x - 1.
  • Step 3: This simplifies to: 5 > x - 1.
  • Step 4: Next, add 1 to both sides to isolate x: 5 + 1 > x.
  • Step 5: This simplifies to: 6 > x.
  • Step 6: We can also write this as: x < 6.
