Question

Solve for x: 3 − (2x − 5) < −4(x + 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

x < -8

Explanation:

3 − (2x − 5) < −4(x + 2)

3- 2x +5 < -4x - 8

-2x +8 < -4x -8

-2x < -4x -16

2x < -16

x < -8

Answer 2

Answer:

$x < - 8$

First answer is correct

Explanation:

$3 - (2x - 5) < - 4(x + 2) \\ 3 - 2x + 5 < - 4x - 8 \\ - 2x + 4x < - 3 - 5 - 8\\ 2x < - 10 \\ \frac{2x}{2} < \frac{ - 16}{2} \\ x < - 8$

hope this helps you
