Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Find the solution for the inequality 2x + 5 > 3x - 1.
Correct Answer: x < 6
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 2x + 5 > 3x - 1.
  • Step 2: To isolate x, first get all the x terms on one side. Subtract 2x from both sides: 5 > 3x - 2x - 1.
  • Step 3: Simplify the left side: 5 > x - 1.
  • Step 4: Now, add 1 to both sides to isolate x: 5 + 1 > x.
  • Step 5: Simplify the left side: 6 > x.
  • Step 6: This can be rewritten as x < 6.
