For what integer values of x is x+1-2 positive?
I think I'm starting to figure it out....would it be any number above 1?
x= 2 so....
2+1-2= 1
etc.?
yes.
x+1-2 > 0
x-1 > 0
x > 1
To determine the integer values of x for which x + 1 - 2 is positive, we need to solve the inequality:
x + 1 - 2 > 0
First, let's simplify the expression:
x - 1 > 0
Now, we can solve for x by isolating it:
x > 1
This means that x must be greater than 1 for the inequality to be true. Therefore, the integer values of x that satisfy x + 1 - 2 > 0 are all integers greater than 1. In interval notation, this can be written as (1, ∞).
