Question

What is the solution to the inequality -2x + 1 < 3?

Answer 1

Answer is x > -1

Step by step

-2x + 1 < 3
Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate variable

-2x +1 -1 < 3 -1
Simplify

-2x < 2

Divide both sides by -2 to solve

-2/-2x < 2/-2

x < -1

**Since we divided an inequality by a negative, the rule says to flip the sign

Your answer is x > -1

Answer 2

x>-1

Explanation:

-2x+1<3

-2x<-3+1

-2x<2 /-2

x>-1
