solve the following equation. then place the correct answer in the box provided. 2x 1 < 9
Answer:
The solution of given inequality is x<4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let as consider the given inequality is
\(2x+1<9\)
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\(2x+1-1<9-1\) (Subtraction property of equality)
\(2x<8\)
Divide both sides by 2.
\(\frac{2x}{2}<\frac{8}{2}\) (Division property of equality)
\(x<4\)
Therefore the solution of given inequality is x<4.
(Note:- If the given equation is 2x+1=9, then the solution is x=4).
