Answer 2

Solve for x individually in each one, just as if it were an equal sign, and when you have isolated both of your x's you have solved it.

Answer 3

i'm struggling with this could you show me how to work this please

Answer 4

dfyodor could you show me how to work this please

Answer 5

All right.

Answer 6

If I gave you this, could you solve it?
\[2x-\frac 5 4 = -6\]

Answer 7

not really

Answer 8

In which case, I regret to say that you lack the prerequisites to solve the problem. This is not an appropriate place to teach basic prealgebra skills. You should consult with a teacher, or someone who can show you first-hand.

Answer 9

this is the first part. \[2x-\frac{5}{4}<=-6\]\[8x−5<=−24\]\[8x<=−19\]\[x<=−\frac{19}{8}\]The second part is:
\[2x−\frac{5}{4}>5\]\[8x−5>20\]\[8x>25\]\[x>\frac{25}{8}\]Now the last part \[\frac{−19}{8}>=x>\frac{25}{8}\]
There is your answer.
