Question 1 Report

Solve the inequality: \(\frac{1}{3}(2x - 1) < 5\)

Answer Details
To solve this inequality, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality sign. We can start by multiplying both sides by 3, which gives: 2x - 1 < 15 Next, we can add 1 to both sides: 2x < 16 Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to get: x < 8 Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 8. Option (d) is the correct answer.
