Explanation:


7 - 2(x + 2) < -4 - 3(1 - x)

First, let's distribute the terms outside each parentheses to get rid of them:


7 - 2x - 4 < -4 - 3 + 3x


-2x + 3 < -7 + 3x

Next, let's move the terms with an
x variable to the left side of the equation, and everything else to the right side:


-2x -3x < -7 - 3


-5x < -10
