Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

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