Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the inequality 5 - 2x ≤ 3. What is the solution?
Correct Answer: x ≥ 1
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 5 - 2x ≤ 3.
  • Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the term with x: -2x ≤ 3 - 5.
  • Step 3: Simplify the right side: -2x ≤ -2.
  • Step 4: Now, divide both sides by -2. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign: x ≥ 1.
