Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Find the solution set for the inequality -2x + 3 > 1.
Correct Answer: x < 1
Step 1: Start with the inequality -2x + 3 > 1.
Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with x. This gives you -2x > 1 - 3.
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 reverse the inequality sign. So, it becomes x < 1.
Step 5: The solution set is all values of x that are less than 1.
