Solve the following inequality. 0.2x - 2.1 > 4.9

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(0.2x - 2.1 > 4.9\), follow these steps:

1. Add 2.1 to both sides: \[ 0.2x - 2.1 + 2.1 > 4.9 + 2.1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 0.2x > 7.0 \]

2. Divide both sides by 0.2: \[ \frac{0.2x}{0.2} > \frac{7.0}{0.2} \] Simplifying gives: \[ x > 35 \]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is: \[ \boxed{x > 35} \]
