Given inequality -3(4-6x) < x+5.
We have -3 in front of Parenthesis.
That represents multiplication of -3 and Parenthesis.
The multiplication of Parenthesis could be done by applying distributive property.
On distributing, we get
-12+18x < x+5
x is added on right side of the inequality. The reverse operation of addition is subtraction. So we need to subtract x from both sides, we get
-12+18x-x < x-x+5
-12+17x < 5
Now, we need to get rid -12 from left side.
So, we need to apply addition property of equality, we need to add 12 on both sides, we get
-12+12+18x < x+5+12
17x < 17
We need to get rid 17 from left side. So we need to apply division property of equality.
On dividing both sides by 17, we get
17x/17 < 17/17
x<1.
