if 2x+5 is greater than 10 and 5x-4 is less than 20 what is the possible value of x
+1667 Okay, let's divide this problem up.
2x+5>10
Subtract 5 from both sides...
2x>5
Divide by 2 on each side...
x>2.5
This means that we know that x is greater than 2.5. Next, let's do 5x-4<20.
5x-4<20
Add 4 to each side...
5x<24
Divide by 5 on each side...
x<4.8
This means that x is less than 4.8.
Now we know that x is greater than 2.5, but less than 4.8.
2.5<x<4.8.
In conclusion, x can be any number from 2.5 to 4.8.
