Question

5(2+3x)<3-2x help greatly appreciated

Answer 1

Wait is it x<-7/17 or x>-7/17 ?

Answer 2

the first :)

Answer 3

I just confused on the rule of switching the signs, when does it apply?

Answer 4

when you are dividing or multiplying by a negative

Answer 5

\[5(2+3x)<3-2x\]
distribute
\[10+15x<3-2x\]
Add 2x to both sides. Subtract 10 from both sides.
\[17x<-7\]
divide both sides 17
\[x = \frac{ -7 }{ 17 }\]

Answer 6

so IF it was -17x < 7
then it would be x > -7/17
