Example 1

easy
Solve 2x+5>112x + 5 > 11.

Solution

  1. 1
    Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x>62x > 6.
  2. 2
    Divide both sides by 2: x>3x > 3.
  3. 3
    The solution is all values greater than 3.

Answer

x>3x > 3
Solving inequalities follows the same steps as equations, with one key difference: multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.

About Inequalities

Mathematical statements that compare two expressions using symbols like <<, >>, ≤\leq, or ≥\geq, indicating that one quantity is less than, greater than, or not equal to another. Unlike equations, inequalities describe a range of possible solutions.
