Can someone help me with this problem? Walk me through it plz: 12x-3x+11>4x-(17-9x) A x>-7 B x<7 C x<-14/11 D x>-14/11

Directrix (directrix):

Look at the left side: 12x-3x+11 Simplify that. Post what you get, okay? @Zane_Romeave

OpenStudy (zane_romeave):

9x+11

Directrix (directrix):

>>>9x+11 Correct. Now, to simplify the right side. How does this simplify: 4x - (17 - 9x ) = ? @Zane_Romeave

OpenStudy (zane_romeave):

13x-17?

Directrix (directrix):

>>13x-17 yes. Now we put the left and right sides back together. 12x-3x+11>4x-(17-9x) 9x+11 > 13x-17

Directrix (directrix):

Now, subtract 13x from both sides. What do you get? 9x + 11 > 13x - 17 -13x -13x ------------------------

OpenStudy (kayleerose0715):

okay so the left side will be 9x+11 and your right side will be 13x-17 it will look like... 9x+11>13x-17 now add 17 to both sides and 9 x to both sides and you should get 28>21x then divide by 21 on both sides and you get 28/21< x you change the sign because you divided

@Zane_Romeave

OpenStudy (kayleerose0715):

OpenStudy (kayleerose0715):

OpenStudy (zane_romeave):

B

OpenStudy (kayleerose0715):

OpenStudy (kayleerose0715):

its not so hard if you have problems with fractions change them to decimals

Directrix (directrix):
