5.50x+2.25>21.5

Question

responces
x>4.32
x<3.5
x>3.5

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 5.50x + 2.25 > 21.5 \), we will isolate \( x \).

1. Start by subtracting 2.25 from both sides: \[ 5.50x > 21.5 - 2.25 \] \[ 5.50x > 19.25 \]

2. Next, divide both sides by 5.50: \[ x > \frac{19.25}{5.50} \] \[ x > 3.5 \]

From this, the correct response is:

• \( x > 3.5 \)

So you can conclude that \( x > 3.5 \) is the correct answer.
