To solve the inequality -2x + 1 > 6, we need to isolate x by getting x by itself on one side of the inequality.
-2x + 1 > 6
Subtract 1 from both sides:
-2x > 5
Divide by -2 (remember to flip the inequality sign when dividing or multiplying by a negative number):
x < -5/2
Therefore, the solutions to the inequality -2x + 1 > 6 are:
A. −5/2
You can check that the other options do not satisfy the inequality.
