Your answer:


x < −8

x > −8

x < −3

x > −3

Answer 1

`x < - 8`

First answer is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

`3 - (2x - 5) < - 4(x + 2) \\ 3 - 2x + 5 < - 4x - 8 \\ - 2x + 4x < - 3 - 5 - 8\\ 2x < - 10 \\ (2x)/(2) < ( - 16)/(2) \\ x < - 8`

hope this helps you

Answer 2

x < -8

Step-by-step explanation:

3 − (2x − 5) < −4(x + 2)

3- 2x +5 < -4x - 8

-2x +8 < -4x -8

-2x < -4x -16

2x < -16

x < -8
