Question

5-2x<11
i don’t know how to solve this

Answer 1

Hello there! Let's solve this inequality for the required variable, which is x.

With the given inequality, it can't be done in just one step, however it can be done in a few steps, which are as follows:

• Subtract 5 from both sides.

`\implies\boldsymbol{5-2x < 11}`

`\implies\boldsymbol{-2x < 6}`

• Divide both sides by -2. Remember to flip the inequality sign.

`\underbrace{\implies\boldsymbol{x > -3}}_\sf{answer}}`

I hope it helps, feel free to reach out if you have any queries :)
