Given the numerical inequality:
7( x - 6 ) < 4 (2x - 1)
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we simply must distribute first 7 and 4 to their corresponding parenthesis.
7( x - 6 ) < 4 (2x - 1)
7x - 42 < 8x - 4
Transpose 7x and -4 on the opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
-42 + 4 < 8x - 7x
-38 < x
Final answer:
-38 < x
