Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the inequality 5x - 7 > 3x + 1.
Correct Answer: x > 4
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 5x - 7 > 3x + 1.
  • Step 2: To get all the x terms on one side, subtract 3x from both sides: 5x - 3x - 7 > 1.
  • Step 3: This simplifies to: 2x - 7 > 1.
  • Step 4: Next, add 7 to both sides to isolate the term with x: 2x - 7 + 7 > 1 + 7.
  • Step 5: This simplifies to: 2x > 8.
  • Step 6: Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x: 2x / 2 > 8 / 2.
  • Step 7: This gives us: x > 4.
