Question

Solve the inequlaity 2(4x+1)<3(2x-3)

Answer 1

x<-5.5 or x<-11/2

Explanation:

2(4x+1)<3(2x-3)

1. First we need to expand the brackets

8x+2<6x-9

2. get the x on one side so we would -6x and -2 on each side

2x<-11

3. divide by 2 on each side as we want to get the value of x which gives

x<-11/2

the fraction can also be written as a decimal

x<-5.5

4) so, the final answer is

x<-5.5 or <-11/2
