Solve the inequality: 4x - 5 > 19

Question

x < 6
x > 6
x = 6

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 4x - 5 > 19 \), follow these steps:

1. Add 5 to both sides: \[ 4x - 5 + 5 > 19 + 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x > 24 \]

2. Divide both sides by 4: \[ x > \frac{24}{4} \] This simplifies to: \[ x > 6 \]

So the solution to the inequality is \( x > 6 \).

The correct answer is: \( x > 6 \).
