1) Let's solve that step by step:

-3 (x - 2) > 24 Distribute the factor

-3x >24 -6

-3x > 18 Divide by -3, swap the sign

x < -6

2) Since the solution is any number lesser than -18on the number line we can state the possible solutions as -9 and -15 because -9< -6 and -15 < -6

Solve the inequality and select all answers that are part of the solution set. -3 (x-example-1
