Question

What is the solution to the inequality shown?
2(x + 3) < 6 - x

Answer 1

x = 0

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

2x+6<−x+6

Step 2: Add x to both sides.

2x+6+x<−x+6+x

3x+6<6

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

3x+6−6<6−6

3x<0

Step 4: Divide both sides by 3.

3/3 < 0 /3

x = 0
