Solve 2x - 8 < 7.

ANSWER
The correct answer is C
EXPLANATION
The given inequality is:
[tex]2x - 8 \: < \: 7[/tex]
Group the constant terms on the right hand side to get;
[tex]2x \: < \: 7 + 8[/tex]
Simplify the right hand side
[tex]2x \: < \: 15[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]x \: < \: \frac{15}{2} [/tex]
{x|x<15/2}
The correct answer is C
Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{\left\{x\ |\ x<\dfrac{15}{2}\right\}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2x-8<7\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\2x-8+8<7+8\\\\2x<15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}<\dfrac{15}{2}\\\\x<\dfrac{15}{2}[/tex]
