Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the inequality 3x + 2 > 5x - 4. What is the solution?
Correct Answer: x < 1
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 3x + 2 > 5x - 4.
  • Step 2: To isolate x, first subtract 3x from both sides: 2 > 5x - 3x - 4.
  • Step 3: This simplifies to: 2 > 2x - 4.
  • Step 4: Next, add 4 to both sides to get: 2 + 4 > 2x.
  • Step 5: This simplifies to: 6 > 2x.
  • Step 6: Now, divide both sides by 2: 6 / 2 > 2x / 2.
  • Step 7: This simplifies to: 3 > x.
  • Step 8: Finally, we can write this as: x < 3.
