What value of x is in the solution set of 2x - 3 > 11 - 5x?
-3, 0, 2, 4
Solution:
Given: 2x - 3 > 11 - 5x.
Let's solve the inequality
The basic difference between inequality and an equation is that inequality does not have a specific answer like in an equation, but a range of values. The range of a function denotes the maximum reach of the y axis of the function.
2x - 3 > 11 - 5x
Add 3 on both sides
2x - 3 + 3 > 11 - 5x + 3
2x > 14 - 5x
Add - 5x on both sides.
2x + 5x > 14 - 5x + 5x
7x > 14
Divide both sides by 7
7x/ 7 > 14/ 7
⇒ x > 2
Thus, the range of values for x are all the real values greater than 2.
What value of x is in the solution set of 2x - 3 > 11 - 5x?
Summary:
The value of x in the solution set of 2x - 3 > 11 - 5x is x > 2.
