\\ \sf\longmapsto 3-(2x-5)<-4(x+2)


\\ \sf\longmapsto 3-2x+5<-4x-8


\\ \sf\longmapsto -2x+8<-4x-8


\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x-8<4x+8


\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x-4x<8+8


\\ \sf\longmapsto -2x<16


\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x<16


\\ \sf\longmapsto x<-8

Answer:

  • x < -8 or
  • x ∈ ( - ∞, - 8)

Explanation:

  • 3 - (2x - 5) < - 4(x + 2)
  • 3 - 2x + 5 < -4x - 8
  • 4x - 2x < - 8 - 8
  • 2x < - 16
  • x < - 8

or

  • x ∈ ( - ∞, - 8)
