Question

choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −x − 3 < 13 3x. −x − 3 < 13 3x _______________ −4x < 16 x > −4 −4x − 3 > 13 2x − 3 < 18 −4x − 3 < 13 2x − 3 > 18

Answer 1

Missing step in the given solution to the inequality −x − 3 < 13 + 3x is:

C: -4x-3< 13

Explanation:

Answer 2

`-4x-3 < 13`

Explanation:

we have

`-x-3 < 13+3x`

Subtract 3x both sides

`-x-3-3x < 13+3x-3x`

`-4x-3 < 13`

Adds 3 both sides

`-4x-3+3 < 13+3`

`-4x < 16`

Divide by -4 both sides

`x > -4`

therefore

The missing step is

`-4x-3 < 13`
