Solve: 3x+4<2(x-5)+x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Treat the < sign as an equal sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can simplify the right side to be: 2x-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait no. don't simplify that yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to distribute the 2 first and then subtract the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you should have 3x+4<2x-10+x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you can simplify the right side: 3x+4<3x-10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now just solve for x! :)
