Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 2x – 3 > 11 – 5x?

Answer 1

Any number greater than 2 would be the answer. In Edg, choose 4! Choosing 2 would be incorrect in their system.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

2x -3 > 11 -5x

Simplify both sides:

2x - 3 > -5x + 11

Add 5x to both sides:

2x - 3 +5x > -5x + 11 +5

7x - 3 > 11

Add 3 to both sides:

7x - 3 +3 > 11 + 3

7x > 14

Divided 7 to both sides:

`(7x)/(7)` >
`(14)/(7)`

x > 2
