Solve using the addition principle:
2x+9>x+14, x+9-9> 14 - 9, x>5 is this right?
yes.
Thank you.
To solve the inequality using the addition principle, you need to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality sign:
Given inequality: 2x + 9 > x + 14
1. Start by subtracting x from both sides to move the x term to one side:
2x - x + 9 > x - x + 14
x + 9 > 14
2. Next, subtract 9 from both sides to isolate the x term:
x + 9 - 9 > 14 - 9
x > 5
So, the solution to the inequality is x > 5.
Therefore, your final answer is correct: x > 5.
