Question

Solve for x: 3 − (2x − 5) < −4(x + 2)

x < −8

x > −8

x < −3

x > −3

I just need help because i don't know how i would do it with x on both sides

Answer 1

3 - (2x - 5) < -4(x + 2)
3 - 2x + 5 < -4x - 8
8 - 2x < -4x - 8
Gather x's on the left and constants on the right
-2x + 4x < -8 - 8
2x < -16
x < -8
