To solve the inequality, you need to isolate the variable "x" on one side of the inequality sign.
2/5x - 4/5 ≥ 1 1/5
First, add 4/5 to both sides to get rid of the negative term:
2/5x - 4/5 + 4/5 ≥ 1 1/5 + 4/5
This simplifies to:
2/5x ≥ 5/5
2/5x ≥ 1
Next, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/5 (which is 5/2) to isolate the x term:
(5/2)(2/5)x ≥ (5/2)(1)
This simplifies to:
x ≥ 5/2
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≥ 5/2.
2/5x - 4/5 ≥ 1 1/5
