Solve the inequality: \(\frac{2x - 5}{2} < (2 - x)\)
- A. x > 0
- B. x < \(\frac{1}{4}\)
- C. x > 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
- D. x < 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
Correct Answer: D. x < 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
Explanation
\(\frac{2x - 5}{2}< \frac{(2 - x)}{1}\)
2x - 5< 4 - 2x
2x + 2x< 4 + 5
4x< 9
x< \(\frac{9}{4}\)
x< 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
