Question

Solve for x: 4 − (x + 2) < −3(x + 4)

x < −7

x > −7

x < −9

x > −9

Answer 1

4 - (x + 2) < -3(x + 4)

Distribute:

4 - x - 2 < -3x - 12

Simplify:

2 - x < -3x - 12

Subtract 2 to both sides:

-x < -3x - 14

Add 3x to both sides:

2x < -14

Divide 2 to both sides, what's -14 / 2? @Kidthatbro8

Answer 2

-7 ?

Answer 3

Yep, that gives us x < -7.

Answer 4
