Question

2x+5 is greater than 50

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5 > 50  x will be the minimum value to make this inequality true. Subtract 5 from both sides.

2x + 5 - 5 > 50 - 5    Do the subtraction

2x > 45                      Divide by 2

2x/2 > 45/2               Do the division

x > 22.5                      So anything larger then 22.5 will make 2x + 5>50

For example, let x = 22.6

2*22.6 + 5 > 50

45.2 + 5 > 50

50.2 > 50  

50.2 is greater than 50

Answer 2

2x+5=50
-5 -5
—————-
2x = 45
Divide by 2
45/2 = 22.5
I hope this makes sense
