Question

4x-3(x + 5) > 7-4(x + 6)

Can someone please help me? I don't understand how I'm supposed to go about this problem and how I'm supposed to solve it.

Answer 1

4x - 3(x + 5) > 7 - 4(x + 6) |use distributive property; a(b + c) = ab + ac

4x - 3x - 15 > 7 - 4x - 24 |combine items

x - 15 > -4x - 17 |add 15 to both sides

x > -4x - 2 |add 4x to both sides

5x > -2 |divide both sides by 5

x > - 2/5
