Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify.</em>
1x - 8 < 2x + 1
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><u><em>x</em></u>
- Simplify: x - 8 < 2x + 1
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract <em>x</em> on both sides: -8 < x + 1
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 1 on both sides: -8 < x
- Rewrite: x > -8
∴ we see that any number <em>x greater than -8</em> would work as a solution to the inequality. That would mean the next largest integer, 9, would be our answer.
