x > 18
x > 18

x < 18

x < 11
x < 11

x > 4.5

Answer 1

To solve for x, start by isolating x on one side of the inequality.

x/2 - 8 < 1

Add 8 to both sides:

x/2 < 9

Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

x < 18

Therefore, the correct answer is x < 18.

Answer 3

To solve for x, start by isolating x on one side of the inequality:

5x + 2 ≥ 17

Subtract 2 from both sides:

5x ≥ 15

Divide both sides by 5:

x ≥ 3

Therefore, the correct answer is x ≥ 3.
