Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the solution to the inequality 5 - 2x < 1?
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. This gives you -2x < 1 - 5.
  • Step 3: Simplify the right side: 1 - 5 equals -4. Now you have -2x < -4.
  • Step 4: To solve for x, divide both sides by -2. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.
  • Step 5: After dividing, you get x > 2.
