Question

-2(x+3)<20 Show work and write solution set

Answer 1

Answer:

x > - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2(x + 3) < 20 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 2x - 6 < 20 ( add 6 to both sides )

- 2x < 26

Divide both sides by - 2, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x > - 13

solution set is { x | x > - 13 }
