PROBLEM ONE

Solving for x in 2x + 5y > -1.

Step 1 ) Subtract 5y from both sides.

2x + 5y > -1

2x + 5y - 5y > -1 - 5y

2x > -1 - 5y

Step 2 ) Divide both sides by 2.

2x > -1 - 5y


\displaystyle(2x)/(2) > \displaystyle(-1 - 5y)/(2)


\displaystyle\ x > (-1 - 5y)/(2)

So, the solution for x in 2x + 5y > -1 is...


\displaystyle\ x > (-1 - 5y)/(2)

Solving for y in 2x + 5y > -1.

Step 1 ) Subtract 2x from both sides.

2x + 5y > -1

2x - 2x + 5y > -1 - 2x

5y > -1 - 1x

Step 2 ) Divide both sides by 5.

5y > -1 - 1x


\displaystyle(5x)/(5) > (-1 -1x)/(5)


\displaystyle\ x > (-1 -1x)/(5)

So, the solution for y in 2x + 5y > -1 is...


\displaystyle\ x > (-1 -1x)/(5)

PROBLEM TWO

Solving for x in 4x - 3 < -3.

Step 1 ) Subtract 3 from both sides.

4x - 3 < -3

4x -3 - 3 < -3 - 3

4x < 0

Step 2 ) Divide both sides by x.

4x < 0


\displaystyle(4x)/(4) <(0)/(4)

x < 0

So, the solution for x in 4x - 3 < -3 is...

x < 0
