Question

Solve for x: 3 − (2x − 5) < −4(x + 2) The graph shows a number line with an open circle at negative three and shading to the right. The graph shows a number line with an open circle at negative three and shading to the left. The graph shows a number line with an open circle at negative eight and shading to the right. The graph shows a number line with an open circle at negative eight and shading to the left.

Answer 1

x>1.7

Explanation:

Answer 2

x>1.7

Explanation:

3-(2x-5)<-4(x+2)

first distribute

-6x-15<-4x+2

then combine like terms

-10x<17

isolate X by dividing by 10

x>17/10 or x>1.7
