Step 1
4 x - 5 > x - 11
Solving inequalities is similar to solving equations.
First, add 5 to both sides of the inequality:
4 x - 5    +    5 > x - 11    +    5
4 x > x - 6
Now subtract x from both sides of the inequality:
4 x    -    x > x - 6    +    x
3 x > 6
Finally, divide both sides by 3 :
3 x 3 > 6 3
Therefore,
x > 2
This can also be said as "x is greater than 2.
