You would get x<7/2 and x>3/2
Explanation:
-
You need to create two forms of the equation. Draw two separate lines because this inequality requires two answers.
-
On one equation you should take out the brackets and find what 2x-5 < 2 equal to.
You should get x< 7/2.
- Now, on the other equation, I need you to put a negative on the 2 and flip the inequality.
Like this: 2x-5> -2
You shall get x> 3/2
If you are graphing, it's much easier in decimal form. 7/2 is 3.5 while 3/2 is 1.5
Hope this helped!
