x%2B1%3C2x%2B1 Start with the given inequality



x%3C2x%2B1-1Subtract 1 from both sides


x-2x%3C1-1 Subtract 2x from both sides


-x%3C1-1 Combine like terms on the left side


-x%3C0 Combine like terms on the right side


x%3E%280%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



x%3E0 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x%3E0
