Question

Explain how you would solve this question

Solve for x: 4 − (x + 2) < −3(x + 4)

x < −7

x > −7

x < −9

x > −9

Answer 1

x < -7

Explanation:

4 − (x + 2) < −3(x + 4)

4 -x -2) < -3x - 12

2- x < -3x - 12

2 + 12 < -3x + x

14 < -2x

÷ -2 when we divide with a negative number we flip the inequality

-7 > x
