jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

for the first step distribute the parentheses

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you can doing ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

5x-10 <-3x+6

OpenStudy (newwar):

(x-2)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

there is what i ve wrote above so do you can continue it now ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

add to the both sides 3x so what will get ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

please collaborate i like help you step by step

OpenStudy (newwar):

3x+5x-10

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes on the left side but i ve said to the both sides assume 3x

OpenStudy (newwar):

3x+-3x+6

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes more easy understanding in this way 3x-3x+6 in the right side yes ? so 3x-3x = ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

you dont know how many make 3x-3x = ?

OpenStudy (newwar):

1

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

how ? than you subtract from 3x the 3x how many will remain or than you eat from 3 apples 3 apples how many will remain again ?

OpenStudy (newwar):

0

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes exactly so 3x-3x make zero in this case on the right side what will get ?

OpenStudy (newwar):

10

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

5x-10 <-3x+6 add to the both sides 3x and will get 5x+3x-10 < -3x+3x +6 8x-10 < 6 now add to the both sides 10 so what will get ?

OpenStudy (newwar):

16.6

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

no 8x-10+10 < 6+10 ? < ?
