10 < –3x + 1

mathslover (mathslover):

Subtract both sides by 1. What you get?

mathslover (mathslover):

\(10 - \color{blue}{1} < -3x + 1 - \color{blue}{1} \)

Yeah @unheard \(10 -1=9\) and there -1 and 1 canceled each other, good work!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks :)

mathslover (mathslover):

Now, divide both sides by 3

mathslover (mathslover):

\(\cfrac{9}{\color{blue}{3}} < \cfrac{-3x}{\color{blue}{3}}\) Can you tell me now?

mathslover (mathslover):

@unheard sorry it is not complete yet.
