Math Problem Statement

2-x<=5

Solution

To solve the inequality 2x52 - x \leq 5, follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the term involving xx: 2x2522 - x - 2 \leq 5 - 2 This simplifies to: x3-x \leq 3

  2. Multiply both sides by 1-1 to solve for xx. Remember, when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign: x3x \geq -3

So, the solution to the inequality is: x3x \geq -3

Would you like details or have any questions? Here are 5 related questions you might find helpful:

  2. What is the solution set for 3x+4<2x+103x + 4 < 2x + 10?
  3. How do you solve a compound inequality like 23x1<5-2 \leq 3x - 1 < 5?
  4. Can you graph the solution x3x \geq -3 on a number line?
  5. How do you solve inequalities involving absolute values?

Tip: Always remember to reverse the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number.
