Question

Solve the inequality below -3(11 + 6x) < -42 - 9x

Answer 1

Answer:

$x>1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3(11 + 6x) < -42 - 9x$

Expand:

$-33-18x$

Add 33 to both sides:

$-33-18x+33$

$-18x$

Add 9x to both sides:

$-18x+9x$

$-9x$

Flip the signs (and the symbol)

$9x>9$

Divide both sides by 9:

$\frac{9x}{9}>\frac{9}{9}$

$x>1$
