Question

3(x-2) < 2(x+9)

1. x<12
2.x>12
3. x<24
4.x>24

Answer 1

3rd option x<24

Explanation:

3×(x-2)<2×(x+9)

3 times everything in the bracket and 2 times everything in the bracket.

3x(-2x)-6<2x(-2x)+18 take away 2x from both sides

( Opposite operators EG, Add becomes subtract)

x-6(+6)<18(+6) add 6 on both sides

x<24
