Question
Solve the following inequalities and represent the solution on a number line :
2x - 3 > 5x + 4
2x - 3 > 5x + 4
✓
Answer
We have the inequality
2x - 3 > 5x + 4
⇒ -3 - 4 > 5x - 2x
⇒ -7 > 3x or x < -7/3
The graph of the solution set is x < -7/3.
2x - 3 > 5x + 4
⇒ -3 - 4 > 5x - 2x
⇒ -7 > 3x or x < -7/3
The graph of the solution set is x < -7/3.
