Math Problem Statement

What are the steps to solve 5(5x-5)-6x>-2

Solution

To solve the inequality 5(5x5)6x>25(5x - 5) - 6x > -2, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Distribute the 55 into the expression 5x55x - 5: 5(5x5)=25x255(5x - 5) = 25x - 25 So the inequality becomes: 25x256x>225x - 25 - 6x > -2

  2. Combine like terms:
    Group the xx-terms and constants: (25x6x)25>2(25x - 6x) - 25 > -2 19x25>219x - 25 > -2

  3. Isolate the xx-term:
    Add 2525 to both sides to move the constant to the right: 19x>2+2519x > -2 + 25 19x>2319x > 23

  4. Solve for xx:
    Divide both sides by 1919: x>2319x > \frac{23}{19}

Final Answer:

The solution to the inequality is: x>2319x > \frac{23}{19}
