Question

choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −x − 3 < 13 3x. −x − 3 < 13 3x _______________ −4x < 16 x > −4 −4x − 3 > 13 2x − 3 < 18 −4x − 3 < 13 2x − 3 > 18

Answer 1

Answer:

$-4x-3 < 13$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$-x-3 < 13+3x$

Subtract 3x both sides

$-x-3-3x < 13+3x-3x$

$-4x-3 < 13$

Adds 3 both sides

$-4x-3+3 < 13+3$

$-4x < 16$

Divide by -4 both sides

$x > -4$

therefore

The missing step is

$-4x-3 < 13$
