Question

Solve the inequality: –3(x + 2) > 4x + 5(x – 7)

Answer 1

Answer:

29/12 > x

Step-by-step explanation:

–3(x + 2) > 4x + 5(x – 7)

Distribute

-3x -6 > 4x +5x-35

Combine like terms

-3x-6 > 9x -35

Add 3x to each side

-3x+3x-6 > 9x+3x -35

-6 > 12x-35

Add 35 to each side

-6+35 > 12x -35+35

29 > 12x

Divide each side by 12

29/12 > 12x/12

29/12 > x
