5(3-x) -4(2-3x)>2
Use distributive property( Multiply 5 by 3 and -x while multiplying -4 by 2 and -3x).
15 - 5x - 8 + 12x > 2
Combine like terms( Subtract 8 from 15 and add 12x to -5x).
7 + 7x > 2
Subtract 7 on both sides
7x > -5
Divide 7 on both sides so that the only thing remaining on the left side is the variable x.
Final Answer: x > -5/7
