Answer:

[-23.27 < x]

Explanation:

Distribute -15/4 to the numbers in the parenthesis:


(-15)/(4)*2x =
-(30)/(4)


(-15)/(4)*-(2)/(3) =
(5)/(2)


-(30)/(4) + (5)/(2) < 64 + (11)/(4)x

Combine like terms:


-5 < 64 + (11)/(4)x

Subtract 64 from both sides:


-64 < (11)/(4)x

Multiply both sides by 4:


-256 < 11x

Divide both sides by 11:


[-23.27 < x]
