Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If 5x - 2 ≤ 3, what is the maximum value of x?
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality 5x - 2 ≤ 3.
  • Step 2: To get rid of the -2, add 2 to both sides of the inequality. This gives you 5x ≤ 3 + 2.
  • Step 3: Simplify the right side: 5x ≤ 5.
  • Step 4: Now, to solve for x, divide both sides of the inequality by 5. This gives you x ≤ 5 / 5.
  • Step 5: Simplify the right side: x ≤ 1.
  • Inequalities – Understanding how to manipulate and solve inequalities to find the range of possible values for a variable.
  • Algebraic Manipulation – Applying basic algebraic operations such as addition and division to isolate the variable.
