Solve the inequality for x

3(x + 4) > 4 - X

Answer 1

x>-2

Explanation:

3(x+4)>4-x

Do distributive property

3x+12>4-x

Add x on both sides

4x+ 12>4

Subtract 12 on both sides

4x>-8

Divide by 4 on both sides

x>-2

Answer 2

x>-2

Explanation:

3(x + 4) > 4 - X

Distribute

3x+12> 4-x

Add x to each side

3x+12+x > 4-x+x

4x+12 > 4

Subtract 12 from each side

4x+12-12>4-12

4x> -8

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 > -8/4

x>-2
