Which is a correct first step in solving the inequality -4(2x - 1)> 5-3x?

Distribute -4 to get-8x + 4 >5-3x.
Distribute - 4 to get-Bx-1 > 5-3x.
Subtract 2x from both sides of the inequality.
Add 1 to both sides of the inequality.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

-4(2x - 1) > 5 - 3x

The first step would be to expand the brackets.

-4( 2x ) - 4( -1 ) > 5 - 3x

Distribute the -4 to 2x and -1 to get:

-8x + 4 > 5 - 3x
