It’s the first answer, both expressions equal 5 when substituting 2 for x because the expressions are equivalent.

1/2 of x +4
=1/2(2)=1.
1+4= 5

2+6=8
1/2(2)=1.
8-1=7
7-2=5

| x-3 | < x-3<br><br> can someone give a step by step process on how to do this?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

There are no solutions to the inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

|x - 3| < x – 3

1. Separate the inequality into two separate ones.

(1) x – 3 < x – 3

(2) x – 3 < -(x – 3)

2. Solve each equation separately

(a) Equation (1)

$\begin{array}{rcl}x - 3 & < & x - 3\\x & < & x\\\end{array}\\\text{This is impossible. No solutions exist.}$

(b) Equation (2)

$\begin{array}{rcl}x - 3 & < & -(x - 3)\\x - 3 & < & -x + 3\\x &$

For example, if x = 0, we get

|0 - 3| < 0 - 3 or

3 < -3
