Solve the inequality 2x - 5 > 9

Worked through step by step. More algebra.

Answer
x>7\boxed{x > 7}

Substituting a number greater than 7 (like 8) into the original inequality gives 2(8)−5=112(8) - 5 = 11, which is greater than 9.

Problem: Solve the inequality 2x−5>92x - 5 > 9.

Steps

  1. Add 5 to both sides
    2x>9+52x > 9 + 5
  2. Simplify the right side
    2x>142x > 14
  3. Divide both sides by 2
    x>142x > \frac{14}{2}
  4. Simplify the fraction
    x>7x > 7
