Answer:

x < - 8

Explanation:

Given

3 - (2x - 5) < - 4(x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

3 - 2x + 5 < - 4x - 8

- 2x + 8 < - 4x - 8 ( add 4x to both sides )

2x + 8 < - 8 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

2x < - 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x < - 8

Answer:

Explanation:

3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)

Remove unnecessary parentheses

3-2x+5=-4*(x+2)

Reorder the terms in parentheses

3-2x+5=+(-4x-8)

Remove unnecessary parentheses

+3-2x+5=-4x-8

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

-2x+4x=-8-3-5

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+2x=-16

We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x.

x=-8
