what is the solution set for 2x + 5 > 7? a x > -1 b x < 3 c x < -2 d x > 1

what is the solution set for 2x + 5 > 7? a x > -1 b x < 3 c x < -2 d x > 1

what is the solution set for 2x + 5 > 7? a x > -1 b x < 3 c x < -2 d x > 1

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 5 from both sides

$$ \begin{align*} 2x+5-5&>7 - 5\ 2x&>2 \end{align*} $$

Step2: Divide both sides by 2

$$ \begin{align*} \frac{2x}{2}&>\frac{2}{2}\ x&>1 \end{align*} $$
