Solve 2.1x +5.6 is greater than 8.75

1 answer

To solve the inequality 2.1x + 5.6 > 8.75, we can start by subtracting 5.6 from both sides:

2.1x + 5.6 - 5.6 > 8.75 - 5.6

This simplifies to:

2.1x > 3.15

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 2.1 (since it is a positive number, we do not change the inequality sign):

2.1x / 2.1 > 3.15 / 2.1

This simplifies to:

x > 1.5

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 1.5.
