@3mar

OpenStudy (itrymath):

hi

OpenStudy (3mar):

Ok

OpenStudy (3mar):

Let's type it in

OpenStudy (itrymath):

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

OpenStudy (3mar):

Ok I mean like that: \[4-(x+2)<-3(x+4)\]

OpenStudy (itrymath):

okay

OpenStudy (itrymath):

hello ?

OpenStudy (3mar):

One minute please

OpenStudy (anglina4196):

Can I help?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

yes @anglina4196

OpenStudy (3mar):

First: distribute the parenthesis: \[4-(x+2)<-3(x+4)\] \[4-x-2<-3x-12\]

OpenStudy (itrymath):

okay

OpenStudy (3mar):

Sorry for late.

OpenStudy (3mar):

What you think the next step?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

-4+2 < -2x-12

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes, gather x in one side and the others in the other side.

OpenStudy (itrymath):

-4+2 < -2x-14

OpenStudy (itrymath):

-4< -2x-14

OpenStudy (3mar):

and?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

x< -5

OpenStudy (itrymath):

these are answer choices x > -7 x < -7 x > -9 x < -9

OpenStudy (itrymath):

idk what i did wrong

OpenStudy (3mar):

Ok let me see

OpenStudy (3mar):

Hint: choices must not have always the correct answer.

OpenStudy (3mar):

But let me check it.

OpenStudy (itrymath):

okay

OpenStudy (3mar):

I did a check and I got so what you think?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

idk

OpenStudy (3mar):

Did you write the question correctly? (I don't like to ask such question, but just to be sure)

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i dont mind um yes i did 4 - (x + 2) < -3(x + 4)

OpenStudy (itrymath):

\[ 4 - (x + 2) < -3(x + 4)\]

OpenStudy (itrymath):

@Awolflover1

OpenStudy (itrymath):

OpenStudy (itrymath):

OpenStudy (anglina4196):
