2x-5<10
To solve the inequality we will leave x alone. So let's move -5 to the right of the inequality.
2x < 10+5
2x<15 (divide both sides by 2)
2x/2<15/2
x<15/2
33-4x<5
To solve the inequality we will leave x alone. So let's move 33 to the right of the equation.
-4x < 5-33
-4x<-28 (divide both sides by -4. Here there is something we should be careful about: multiplying or dividing the same negative numer to oth sides of an inequality reserves the sign of the inequality.)Therefore,
-4x/-4>-28/-4
x>7
