Hey there!
2x + 1 < 5
SUBTRACT 1 to BOTH SIDES
2x + 1 - 1 < 5 - 1
SIMPLIFY IT!
2x < 5 - 1
2x < 4
DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES
2x/2 < 4/2
SIMPLIFY IT!
x < 4/2
x < 2
Therefore, your answer is: x < 2
(The graph is down below)
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer:
Slope is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
So to find slope, we need to take the change in the y value, and the change in the x value, and then divide them. This may be confusing, so here is just 3 formulas in 3 seperate steps that we use to find it:
Step 1 -
Step 2 -
Step 3 -
So lets start by doing step one.
All we need is to look for two x values. Lets use 5 and 6:
6-5=1
So 1 is our change of x. This is our 1st step.
Next we can use 2 y values, note that these should be the 2 y values that go wiht the x values above. So this means we have to use -3 and -1:
-1-(-3) = 2
So 2 is our change in y. This is our 2nd step.
Now lets plug this into:
:
So our slope is 2. Completing our 3rd and final step.
Hope this helps!
