Question

Help? Solve 2x - 8 < 7

Answer 1

2x - 8 < 7
Add 8 to both sides
2x<15
Divide 2 on both sides
Final Answer: x<15/2 or 7 1/2 *Both answers are equivalent to each other.

Answer 2

One solution was found :                   x < 15/2

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

                     2*x-8-(7)<0

Divide both sides by  2  

      x-(15/2)  < 0

Solve Basic Inequality : 1.2    Add  15/2  to both sides
