Answer:

x<24

Explanation:

You can initially view the < as an =

do the distributive property first

3x - 6 < 2x + 18

now move the -6 over by adding

3x<2x + 24

move the 2x over by subtraction

x<24

Answer:

x<24

Explanation:

3(x-2)<2(x+9)

Distribute

3x - 6 < 2x+18

Subtract 2x from each side

3x-2x -6 < 2x-2x+18

x - 6 < 18

Add 6 to each side

x-6+6 <18+6

x<24
