Question

1/2x - 3 < -1 3/8  
Please helppp hurry

Answer 1

The solution to the inequality
`\( (1)/(2)x - 3 < -1(3)/(8) \) is \( x < (13)/(4) \).`

Sure, let's solve the inequality:

`\[ (1)/(2)x - 3 < -1(3)/(8) \]`

First, let's simplify the right side of the inequality:

`\[ -1(3)/(8) = -(11)/(8) \]`

Now, rewrite the inequality:

`\[ (1)/(2)x - 3 < -(11)/(8) \]`

Add 3 to both sides to isolate the term with \(x\):

`\[ (1)/(2)x < -(11)/(8) + 3 \]`

Combine the terms on the right side:

`\[ (1)/(2)x < (13)/(8) \]`

Now, multiply both sides by 2 to solve for \(x\):

`\[ x < (13)/(4) \]`

So, the solution to the inequality is
`\( x < (13)/(4) \).`
