Question

Solve for xx: x + 1/2 < 2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

x < 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is:

x + 1/2 < 2/3

Subtract 1/2 from both sides of the inequality

`\begin{gathered} x+(1)/(2)-(1)/(2)<(2)/(3)-(1)/(2) \\ x<(2)/(3)-(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Simplify the resulting inequality

`\begin{gathered} x<(4-3)/(6) \\ x<(1)/(6) \end{gathered}`

The solution to the inequality x + 1/2 < 2/3 is x < 1/6
