Ivy is incorrect.
To solve the inequality 5 - 2x - 1/3 ≤ 4, we need to isolate the variable x.
The correct first step would be to subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality:
5 - 5 - 2x - 1/3 ≤ 4 - 5,
which simplifies to:
- 2x - 1/3 ≤ -1.
Therefore, Javon is correct and Ivy is incorrect.
Javon and Ivy are both given the equation 5- 2x-1/3 ≤ 4. Javon thinks the first step is - 2x-1/3 ≤ 9. Ivy thinks the first step is - 2x-1/3 ≤-1. who is incorrect and why?
