Question

Solve the inequality. Please show your math work step by step.
-3x+4<25

Answer 1

x > -6.33

Explanation:

-3x + 4 < 25

-3x + 4 - 4 < 25 - 4

-3x < 19

-3x/3 < 19/-3

x > -6.33

Answer 2

x> -7

Explanation:

Subtract 4 from both sides:

−3x+4−4<25−4

Simplify:

−3x<21

Multiply both sides by −1 (reverse the inequality)

(−3x)(−1)>21(−1)

Simplify again:

3x>−21

Divide both sides by 3

(3x/3) >(−21/3 )

Simplify again to get the result!

x > -7
