Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the solution to the inequality -2x + 5 > 1?
Correct Answer: x < 2
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality -2x + 5 > 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, so 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 flip the inequality sign.
  • Step 5: Dividing -4 by -2 gives you 2, and since we flipped the inequality sign, you now have x < 2.
