Question

2.5x - 4.2 > 1.5x + 3.4

Answer 1

Answer:

$x > 7, 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2.5x - 4.2 > 1.5x + 3.4 \\ 2.5x - 4.2 - 1.5x > 3.4 \\ 2.5x - 1.5x > 3.4 + 4.2 \\ x > 3.4 + 4.2$

$\boxed{Answer:{\boxed{\green{ x > 7,6}}}}$

Answer 2

Answer = x > 7.6

First, move the variable to the left hand side and change its sign:

2.5x - 4.2 + 1.5 > 3.4

Then move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign:

2.5x - 1.5x > 3.4 + 4.2

Combine like terms:

X > 3.4 + 4.2

Add the numbers:

X > 7.6

Hope that helps!
