Which of the following correctly solves the linear inequality 2/5x+2<4

Answer 1

To solve the linear inequality 2/5x + 2 < 4, we need to isolate the variable x. Here is the correct approach:

2/5x + 2 < 4

Subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality:

2/5x < 2

Multiply both sides of the inequality by 5/2 (or multiply by 2/5 and then take the reciprocal of both sides):

x < 5/2

Thus, the correct solution is x < 5/2.
