Question

12x > 9(2x-3) -15
solve the inequality for x. show each step of the solution.

Answer 1

12x>18x-27-15
-6x>-42
x<7

Answer 2

12x > 9(2x - 3) - 15

12x > 18x - 27 -15 (distribute)

12x > 18x - 42 (simplify)

12x - 18x > 18x - 18x - 42 (subtract -18x from each side)

-6x/-6 > -42/-6 (divide, isolate the x)

x < 8 (answer, when you divide a negative, flip the sign)

hope this helps
