Answer 2

x < -3 .

Explanation:

Given : 7x + 6 < 3(x - 2).

To find : Solve.

Solution : We have given 7x + 6 < 3(x - 2).

On distributing 3 over x -2 .

7x + 6 < 3x - 6 .

On subtracting both sides by 3x .

7x - 3x + 6 < -6 .

4x + 6 < -6.

On subtracting both sides by 6

4x < -6 - 6 .

4x < -12 .

On dividing both sides by 4 .

x < -3 .

Therefore, x < -3 .
