5. $2x - 5 > 1$ (and a number line from -5 to 5 is shown)

Question

  1. $2x - 5 > 1$ (and a number line from -5 to 5 is shown)

Explanation:

Step1: Add 5 to both sides

$2x - 5 + 5 > 1 + 5$
$2x > 6$

Step2: Divide by 2 on both sides

$\frac{2x}{2} > \frac{6}{2}$
$x > 3$

Step3: Graph on number line

Draw an open circle at $x=3$, shade all values to the right of 3 on the provided number line.

Answer:

$x > 3$
(Graph: Open circle at 3, arrow pointing right on the number line)
