Given to solve:
.
.
Add x to both sides to eliminate the -x on the right side. When you do that, the inequality becomes:
.
.
Subtract 2 from both sides to eliminate the +2 on the left side. You get:
.
.
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the limits on x:
.
.
And that's the answer.
.
Note that you can work these inequalities just as you would an equation, with the exception that if you divide or multiply by a negative quantity you must reverse the direction of the inequality sign. This exception did not apply in this problem that you were given to solve.
.
Hope this helps you to better understand how to work inequality problems.
