Question

- 2x – 5 < 12
Yo help

Answer 1

x > -17/2

Explanation:

Step 1: Write inequality

-2x - 5 < 12

Step 2: Solve for x

Add 5 to both sides: -2x < 17

Divide both sides by -2: x > -17/2

Here, we can see that any number greater than -17/2 would work, so x could equal 01234718905731857013570 if we wanted it to, as long as it is greater than -8.5.
