Given the inequality: 3 - (2x - 5) < -4(x + 2)
Solution:
In order to solve x in the equation, simply solve each expression individually
= 3 - (2x - 5) < -4(x + 2)
= 3 - 2x - 5 < -4x + 8
= 2x - 2 < -4x + 8
Transpose Similar variable in one side of the equation.
= 2x+4x < 8+2
= 6x < 10
Divide both sides by 6 in order to get the value of x
= x < 10 / 6
or
= x < 5/3
