Therefore the answer is

Example Question #2182 : Algebra 1

Solve:

Possible Answers:

None of the other answers are correct.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Subtract 2 from each side:

Example Question #2183 : Algebra 1

Solve for :

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

This inequality can be solved just like an equation.

Add 4 to both sides:

2x > 11

Then divide by 2:

x > 11/2 = 5.5

Example Question #2186 : Algebra 1

Solve the inequality:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First, combine like terms on a single side of the inequality. On the right side of the inequality, combine the terms to obtain .

Next, we want to get all the variables on the left side of the inequality and all of the constants on the right side of the inequality. Add 4 to both sides and subtract  from both sides to get .

Finally, to isolate the variable, divide both sides by 12 to produce the final answer,

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Solution To An Inequality With Addition

Solve:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve , isolate the variable by adding three on both sides.

The correct answer is:  

Example Question #57 : Equations / Inequalities

Solve the following inequality:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve the inequality, get all terms with  on one side and all constants on the other side. We first subtract  from both sides

,

Now add 7 to both sides

.

Now divide both sides by 2

Example Question #61 : Equations / Inequalities

Solve this inequality:

Possible Answers:

Not enough information to be determined.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this inequality, we need to separate the constants from the variables so that they are on opposite sides of the inequality.

We can do this by adding (4x+5) to each side and  

.

The constants cancel on the left side, and the variables cancel on the right side.

 

Then, we divide both sides by 16, to get our final answer:
