Question

Solve this inequality

​

Answer 1

Answer:
`x < 3`

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate x, we first add 3 to both sides. Then we'll divide both sides by 4

`4x-3 < 9\\\\4x-3+3 < 9+3\\\\4x < 12\\\\(4x)/(4) < (12)/(4)\\\\x < 3`

So x can be any number smaller than 3.

The inequality sign will not flip because we are not dividing both sides by a negative number.
