Question

Solve the inequality: 2x - 5 < 8.

Answer 1

Add 5 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable term:

2x - 5 + 5 < 8 + 5 

2x < 13 

Divide both sides of the inequality by 2:

2x/2 < 13/2 

x < 6.5 

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 6.5.

Answer 2

To solve the inequality 2x - 5 < 8, we can add 5 to both sides to isolate the variable term:

2x - 5 + 5 < 8 + 5

This simplifies to:

2x < 13

Finally, we divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

2x/2 < 13/2

x < 6.5

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 6.5.

Answer 3

2x-5<8 so if we add 5 in both sides it become 2x<13 and if we dived both the sides by 2 then the equation become x<6.5 so answer will be any number greater than 6.5

Answer 4

We have the inequality 2x-5<8 and the solution will be as follows 

Adding positive 5 to both sides of inequality sign We get 

2x-5+5 < 8+5 and after simplification it becomes 

2x < 13 ,then diving by 2 both sides We get 

x < 13/2 

Therefore the solution of the given inequality 2x-5 < 8 is x < 13/2 or x < 6.5

Answer 5

To solve the inequality \(2x - 5 < 8\), we need to isolate the variable \(x\).

First, let's add 5 to both sides of the inequality:

\[2x - 5 + 5 < 8 + 5\]

\[2x < 13\]

Next, divide both sides by 2 (since we're dealing with \(2x\)):

\[ \frac{2x}{2} < \frac{13}{2} \]

\[ x < \frac{13}{2} \]

So, the solution to the inequality \(2x - 5 < 8\) is \(x\) being less than \( \frac{13}{2} \).
