Question

5-x is greater than 4

Answer 1

Answer:

As per the statement:

5-x is greater than 4

$\text{"greater than"} means '>'$

From the given statement, we get an inequality:

$5-x > 4$

Subtract 5 from both sides ;

$5-x-5 > 4-5$

Simplify:

$-x > -1$

Multiply both sides by -1  (reverse the inequality) :we get;

x < 1

Therefore, the  solution for this inequality is : x < 1 or $(-\infty, 1)$
