Question

How do I do this and what is the answer?

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

A) x < -8
B) x > -8
C) x < -3
D) x > -3

Answer 1

3-(2x-5)<-4(x+2)
3-2x+5<-4x-8
8-2x<-4x-8
add 4x on both sides
8-2x+4x<-4x+4x-8
8+2x<-8
subtract 8 on both sides
2x<-8-8
2x<-16
divided 2 on both sides
x<-8
answer is ..
optionA
