Solve the Inequality for x 2x+y>5

$2 x + y > 5$

Step 1

Subtract $y$ from both sides of the inequality.

$2 x > 5 - y$

Step 2

Divide each term in $2 x > 5 - y$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 x > 5 - y$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 x}{2} > \frac{5}{2} + \frac{- y}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 x}{2} > \frac{5}{2} + \frac{- y}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x > \frac{5}{2} + \frac{- y}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x > \frac{5}{2} - \frac{y}{2}$
