Question

Which inequality represents all the solutions of 4(3x + 2) < 5(3x − 2)? Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

x > 6

Explanation:

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

12x + 8 < 15x - 10 ( subtract 15x from both sides )

- 3x + 8 < - 10 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- 3x < - 18

Divide both sides by - 3, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x > 6
