Question

2x + 1 < 5

Solve the following inequality. Then place the correct number in the box provided.

Answer 1

x < 2

Explanation:

`2x+1 <5\\ 2x <4\\x <2`

Answer 2

For this case we have the following inequality:

`2x + 1 <5`

Subtracting 1 from both sides of the inequality we have:

`2x <5-1\\2x <4`

Dividing between 2 on both sides of the inequality:

`x <\frac {4} {2}\\x <2`

Thus, the solution is given by all values of "x" less than 2.

Answer:

`x <2`
