Question 759574: There are many solutions to x > 5. There are many solutions to x ≥ 5. Explain the difference between their solution sets.
∙X = 7 is NOT a solution to the inequality, 2x + 5 < 19. Explain

Answer by malglu(63)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x>5 means x is larger then 5 but is not equal to 5. the other one means x is more then or equal to 5. so the solution sets differ by the inclusion or not of 5.
if you put x=7 into the inequality, you get 14+5 < 19 which is not true, so x+ 7 is NOT a solution.
