t of this problem?
1 answer:
2/5(x - 1) < 3/5(1 + x)
To find the solution, we can use the distributive property to simplify.
2/5x - 2/5 < 3/5 + 3/5x
Multiply all terms by 5.
2x - 2 < 3 + 3x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-2 < 3 + x
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-5 < x
<h3><u>The value of x is greater than the value of -5.</u></h3>
