nubeer · Answer

have u found values of x for each inequality?

anonymous · Answer

no im not sure how to start solving this problem @nubeer

nubeer · Answer

ok.. first take 2x+1>= 5
subtract 1 on both sides and then divide both sides by 2

anonymous · Answer

okay i got 2x≥4?  @nubeer

nubeer · Answer

divide both sides by 2.. this would be 1 value of x

anonymous · Answer

x≥2? (: @numbeer

nubeer · Answer

yup..
now solve for the other.. divide both sides by -3 but u also have to flip the inequality sign.

anonymous · Answer

is the final answer x<3? @numbeer

nubeer · Answer

2<= x < 3
this should be the answer

anonymous · Answer

how did you get that answer? @numbeer

nubeer · Answer

lol spellings. :P
well see the 2 answer u got
x>=2  and other is x<3
so means x is greater then equalt to 2 and less then 3.. thats how i wrote that
