Question

1. which value is part of the solution set of the inequality 5x - 1 < 4?

x = 1
x = -4
x = 2
x = 4

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the inequality

Add 1 to both sides of $5x - 1<4$: $5x-1 + 1<4 + 1$, which simplifies to $5x<5$.

Step2: Isolate x

Divide both sides of $5x<5$ by 5: $\frac{5x}{5}<\frac{5}{5}$, getting $x < 1$.

Answer:

$x=-4$
