Question

Someone help me plez

Solve for x: 5 − (x + 5) > −2(x + 4)

x > −8

x < −8

x > −18

x < −18



Solve for x: −3x + 3 < 6

x > −1

x < −1

x < −3

x > −3

Answer 1

remember to treat the greater than sign like a equal sign

Answer 2

\[ −3x + 3 < 6\] is the easier of the two
subtract \(3\) to get \(-3x<3\) then divide by \(-3\) and change the inequality to finish with \[x>-1\]

Answer 3

Remember, when you divide the inequality by a negative number, you have to change the signs :)
