Question

WILL MEDAL AND FAN TO YOU
Solve for x: 4 − (x + 2) < −3(x + 4) (1 point)

x > −9
x < −9
x > −7
x < −7

Answer 1

Firstly, try using FOIL to open up the brackets and collect like terms

Answer 2

@FireKat97 what is FOIL

Answer 3

okay so FOIL is a method with which you can open and simplify brackets so assume...
a (b + c) so to simplify this you would do (a)(b) + (a)(c)

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

so 4-x + 4 - 2 < -3•x +-3•4 @FireKat97

Answer 6

your right hand side is correct however your left hand side isn't quite there, so
when you have 4 - (x + 2)
think of it like this 4 -1(x + 2)
so what you are actually doing is 4 -(1)(x) + (-1)(2)

Answer 7

oh ok

Answer 8

whats next @FireKat97

Answer 9

simplify?

Answer 10

yup and collect like terms

Answer 11

ok so you get -2 + x < -3 • x + -12? @FireKat97

Answer 12

@FireKat97 you there?

Answer 13

i think you simplify by getting common terms together ....the greater or less than symbol is like a equal sign so simplify

Answer 14

Your right hand side is correct however, reconsider your signs for the left hand side

Answer 15

is this algebra 1 ?

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

-2 - x < -3 • x + -12?

Answer 18

the two is meant to be positive, but other than that its all correct

Answer 19

ok
