Question

Solve for x: 3 − (2x − 5) < −4(x + 2)

x < −8
x > −8
x < −3
x > −3

Answer 1

heres an example
Solve - 3(2x-5)-4x=3(x-2)+x?

Answer 2

-3(2x-5)-4x = 3(x-2)+x --- 1st multiply the brackets, so
-6x+15-4x = 3x-6+x ---- now move the 'x' to the right no. to the left
-6x-4x-3x-x = -6-15 (sym.change, so + turn -, & - into +
-14x = -21 (just add them)
x = -21/-14
x = 3/2 = 1.5

Answer 3

@Jacob902 X = 1.5?

Answer 4

@Jacob902 Is there a formula or like a way to do this that you can explain to me?

Answer 5

3 − (2x − 5) < −4(x + 2)---Distribute out the Negative sign on the left side, and the -4 on the right side

Answer 6

3 - 2x +5 < -4x - 8x

Answer 7

sorry i meant 3 - 2x +5 < -4 - 8

Answer 8

3 - 2x + 5 < -4x - 8
2x< -16
x<-8

Answer 9

yep
