Question

Solve for Inequality 5-1/2 x >30

Answer 1

X < - 50

Explanation:

5 - 1/2 x > 30

Move 5 to the other side of the inequality

- 1/2 x > 25

Multiply both sides by 2, to get rid of the denominator on the left side

-x > 50

Now switch the inequality sign and multiply to get the minus on the other side

x < - 50

Answer 2

`5-(1)/(2) x > 30`

Simplify:

`-(1)/(2) x+5 > 30`

Subtract 5 from both sides:

`-(1)/(2) x+5-5 > 30-5`

`-(1)/(2) x > 25`

Multiply both sides by
`-(2)/(1)`:

`-(2)/(1) *(-(1)/(2) x) > -(2)/(1) *(25)`

`\fbox{x} < \fbox{-50}`
