Question

How do you solve the inequality `27x + 33 > 58x - 29`?

Answer 1

`x<2`

Explanation:

Treat an inequality in the same way as an equation, unless you multiply or divide by a negative number, in which case the inequality sign will change around.

`27x+33 > 58x-29`

`33+29 > 58x-27x`

`62 > 31x " " larr div31`

`2 > x`

This is the same as `x<2`
