Answer:


x>-(32)/(9)

Explanation:

The given inequality is


-(5)/(2)(3x+4)<6-3x

We need to solve this inequality to find the value of x.

Using distributive property we get


-(5)/(2)(3x)-(5)/(2)(4)<6-3x


-(15)/(2)x-10<6-3x

Add 3x on both sides.


-(15)/(2)x-10+3x<6-3x+3x


(-15x+6x)/(2)-10<6

Add 6 on both sides,


(-9x)/(2)<6+10


(-9x)/(2)<16

Multiply both sides by 2.


-9x<32

Divide both sides by -9. The sign of inequality is changed if we multiply or divide the inequality by a negative number.


x>-(32)/(9)

Therefore, the value of x is
x>-(32)/(9).
