solve x - 1/3 less than or equal to 1/2

3 answers

To solve the inequality x - 1/3 ≤ 1/2, we can start by adding 1/3 to both sides to isolate x:

x - 1/3 + 1/3 ≤ 1/2 + 1/3

Simplifying, we get:

x ≤ 1/2 + 3/6

x ≤ 3/6 + 3/6

x ≤ 6/6

x ≤ 1

Therefore, the solution to the inequality x - 1/3 ≤ 1/2 is x ≤ 1.
thats not the answer
Apologies for providing an incorrect solution. Let's solve the inequality correctly:

To solve x - 1/3 ≤ 1/2, let's first add 1/3 to both sides of the inequality:

x - 1/3 + 1/3 ≤ 1/2 + 1/3

x ≤ 1/2 + 1/3

Now, we need to find a common denominator to add the fractions:

x ≤ 3/6 + 2/6

x ≤ 5/6

Therefore, the solution to the inequality x - 1/3 ≤ 1/2 is x ≤ 5/6.
