To solve the inequality, we need to simplify both sides and isolate the variable, "x."
Starting with the left side of the inequality:
5x - 2/4 - 3 - x/5
First, let's simplify the expression within the parentheses:
-2/4 - 3 = -1/2 - 3 = -7/2
Now, let's combine the terms:
5x - 7/2 - x/5
To combine the terms with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10:
5x - (7/2)(5/5) - (x/5)(2/2)
= 5x - 35/10 - 2x/10
Now, we can combine the terms:
5x - 35/10 - 2x/10
= (5x - 2x)/10 - 35/10
= 3x/10 - 35/10
= (3x - 35)/10
Now, the inequality becomes:
(3x - 35)/10 > 1 - x/10
Multiply both sides of the inequality by 10 to eliminate the denominators:
10(3x - 35)/10 > 10(1 - x/10)
Simplifying both sides:
3x - 35 > 10 - x
Add x to both sides:
3x + x - 35 > 10
Combine like terms:
4x - 35 > 10
Add 35 to both sides:
4x > 10 + 35
4x > 45
Finally, divide both sides by 4 to isolate x:
x > 45/4
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 11.25.
