SOLUTION: Please help me solve this inequality:
2.3+2(x+5) > x+5(x+1)+1
What I did so far..
2.3+2x+10 > x+5x+5+1 (distributed)
12.3+2x > 6x+6 (combined like terms)
-2x -2x

Question 1046903: Please help me solve this inequality:
2.3+2(x+5) > x+5(x+1)+1
What I did so far..
2.3+2x+10 > x+5x+5+1 (distributed)
12.3+2x > 6x+6 (combined like terms)
-2x -2x (subtracted 2x from both sides)
12.3 > 4x+6
-6 -6 (subtracted 6 from both sides)
6.3 > 4x

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Just to be absolutely clear, WHAT is the inequality with which you begin? Is the first term, "3", or is it "2.3"?

Now clarified: 2.3+2(x+5)>x+5(x+1)+1
When placed between rendering tags,
Similar to handling an equation, isolate the variable and do any simplifications.
Let's turn this around, but watch the order relation symbol carefully:

6.3 > 4x
what now?
You did it correctly! Good job!
Let's continue from where you got stuck
6.3 > 4x ======> ======> , which means that: , since switching sides REVERSES the inequality sign.
PAY NO ATTENTION to what the other person is advising! Again, good job!
