Solve the inequality and write the solution set in interval notation: (3/5)x + (2/3)(x - 5) < x

Solution Preview

Hi, here is the solution.

(3/5)x + 2/3( x-5) <x

(3/5)x +(2/3)x - 10/3 <x [ we have distributed 2/3 with x and -5]

Isolate the variable x

Subtract x on both sides

(3/5)x + (2/3)x - x -10/3 ...

Solution Summary

An inequality is solved and the answer expressed in interval notation. The solution is detailed and well presented.
