Answer:
x < -7
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4x + 1) < 3(2x - 3)
Distributive Property:
8x + 8 < 6x - 6
Subtract on Both Sides:
- 6x -6x
--------------------
2x + 8 < - 6
-8 -8
---------------
2x < -14
Divide on Both Sides:
--- ---
2 2
-18x-17=-53 /add 17 to both sides
-18x-17+17=-53+17
-18x=-36
x=(-36)/(-18)
x=2
