We will need to move x to one side.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So do we divide by 2? Or add 2x?
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
First lets simplify each side.

\[4 - 2x \le 5 - x + 1\]
What is
\(\sf 5-x+1=?\)
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
Lets simplify that side so we won't have to do 1 extra step :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok but I think my teacher wants me to do the extra step lol.
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
Well the extra step is not necessary. Actualy we are doing this step now so later we won't have have to move 2 numbers over to isolate x.

Okie

So did you get any value for
\(\sf 5-x+1=?\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No?
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
Just simplify it. What is
\(\sf 5-x+1=5+1-x=?\)
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

What is \(\sf 5+1=?\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6 -x ?
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
So...
\(\sf 5-x+1=6-x\)
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
Correct! :)

Yay (:
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
So now we have
\(\sf\Large 4 - 2x \le 6-x\)
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
So lets add 2x to both sides. What do we get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[4 \le 6 + 2x?\]

Your answer is wrong. Lets add 2x on both sides.
\(\sf\Large 4 - 2x +2x\le 6-x+2x\)
OpenStudy (legends):
@purpleowl Plug in -2 for x and see what you get.
4 - 2x = 6 - x
