Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Determine the solution set for the inequality 2(x - 1) ≥ 3.
Correct Answer: x ≥ 2
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 2(x - 1) ≥ 3.
  • Step 2: Distribute the 2 on the left side: 2 * x - 2 * 1 ≥ 3, which simplifies to 2x - 2 ≥ 3.
  • Step 3: Add 2 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with x: 2x - 2 + 2 ≥ 3 + 2, which simplifies to 2x ≥ 5.
  • Step 4: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x: 2x / 2 ≥ 5 / 2, which simplifies to x ≥ 2.5.
