The question is: What is x if 1 is less than 2x?
Solution method:
1. Reduce the equation to a value for x. i.e. divide everything by 2
So 0.5 is less than 1x (0.5 < x),
2. Reverse the equation and change the signs
Answer: x is greater 0.5 (x > 0.5)
i.e. If x is greater than 0.5, then 1 is less than twice x.

One less than twice a number = (X times 2) minus 1, (where X = your number of choice).
This forms an equation which solves nicely: 2x-7 = x-1 x-7 = -1 x = 6
2x-6
If 'x' is more than 1, then x2 is more than 'x'. If 'x' is less than 1, then x2 is less than 'x'.
