Did I do this correct Solve the inequality 4x + 5 < 2x - 11 4x + 5 < 2x - 11 -2 -2 2x + 5 < -11 +5 +5 2x < 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x < 6 2 2 x < 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and do i need to flip the sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x > 3

hero (hero):

` 4x + 5 < 2x - 11 Subtract 2x from both sides: 2x + 5 < -11 Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x < -16 Divide both sides by 2: x < -8 ` That's how you do it.
