Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the inequality 4 - x > 2x + 1. What is the solution?
Correct Answer: x < 1
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 4 - x > 2x + 1.
  • Step 2: To isolate x, first move all x terms to one side. Add x to both sides: 4 > 2x + 1 + x.
  • Step 3: Simplify the right side: 4 > 3x + 1.
  • Step 4: Now, subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the term with x: 4 - 1 > 3x.
  • Step 5: This simplifies to: 3 > 3x.
  • Step 6: Next, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x: 3/3 > x.
  • Step 7: This simplifies to: 1 > x, or x < 1.
