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: -2x ≤ 1 - 5.
  • Step 3: Simplify the right side: -2x ≤ -4.
  • Step 4: Divide both sides by -2. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign: x ≥ 2.
