Question

Simply answer 2/5<_x-4

Answer 1

We want to solve

`(2)/(5)\le x-4`

We need to clear the fraction first by multiplying through with the LCM, which is 5.

`5* (2)/(5)\le 5x-5*4`

`2\le 5x-20`

Grouping like terms gives,

`2+20 \le 5x`

`\Rightarrow 22 \le 5x`

Dividing through by 5 gives,

`(22)/(5) \le x`

We can rewrite this as

`x\ge (22)/(5)`

OR

tex]x\ge 4\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
