Question

How do i solve for this

Answer 1

x < (6/7)

Explanation:

2(1-3x)-(x-5)>1

2 - 6x -x + 5 > 1

-7x + 7 > 1

-7x > -6

x < (6/7) [The inequality is reversed when dividing or multiplying with a negative value]

Answer 2

x <
`(6)/(7)`

Explanation:

2(1 - 3x) - (x - 5) > 1 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

2 - 6x - x + 5 > 1

- 7x + 7 > 1 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

- 7x > - 6

divide both sides by - 7, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x <
`(6)/(7)`
