Question

. Which of the following is equivalent to 7 - 2(x + 2) < -4 - 3(1 - x)?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$7 - 2(x + 2) < -4 - 3(1 - x)$

First, let's distribute the terms outside each parentheses to get rid of them:

$7 - 2x - 4 < -4 - 3 + 3x$

$-2x + 3 < -7 + 3x$

Next, let's move the terms with an $x$ variable to the left side of the equation, and everything else to the right side:

$-2x -3x < -7 - 3$

$-5x < -10$
