Question

Which of the following is equivalent to 7-2(x+2)<-4-3(1 - x)?

Answer 1

2 < x

Explanation:

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

Distribute

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

Combine like terms

3 -2x < -7 +3x

Add 2x to each side

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

3< -7+5x

Add 7 to each side

3+7 <-7+7+5x

10 <5x

Divide each side by 5

10/5 <5x/5

2 < x
