Question

2x + 1 < 5


Solve the following inequality. Then place the correct number in the box provided.

Answer 1

Answer:

x < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x+1 <5\\ 2x <4\\x <2$

Answer 2

For this case we have the following inequality:

$2x + 1 <5$

Subtracting 1 from both sides of the inequality we have:

$2x <5-1\\2x <4$

Dividing between 2 on both sides of the inequality:

$x <\frac {4} {2}\\x <2$

Thus, the solution is given by all values of "x" less than 2.

Answer:

$x <2$
