Equation:


2\mleft(x+3\mright)-2>5+3\mleft(x-2\mright)

Procedure:

0. Simplifying both sides of the equation:


2x+6-2>5+3x-6
2x+4>3x-1

2. Getting the x on one side and the constants on the other:


2x-3x>-1-4
-x>-5

3. Dividing both sides by -1:


(-x)/(-1)>(-5)/(-1)

By doing this, the sing will change as follows:


x<5

Answer:


x<5
