Question

-3 (c+4) – 2 >- 5
I'm seriously confused ​

Answer 1

c < -3

Explanation:

-3 (c + 4) – 2 > -5

Multiply both sides by -1 (don't forget to flip the sign):

3 (c + 4) + 2 < 5

Distribute:

3c + 12 + 2 < 5

Combine like terms:

3c + 14 < 5

Subtract 14:

3c < -9

Divide by 3:

c < -3

The solution is c < -3.
