Answer:
x < 1 2/15
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve using PEMDAS, or the order of operations ( parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction )
2x < -2 ÷ 3 (4x + 4 )
Use the distributive property:
3 ( 4x + 4 )
( 3 * 4x ) + ( 3 * 4 )
12x + 12
2x < -2 ÷ 3 + 12x + 12
now divide:
-2 ÷ 3
-2/3
2x < -2/3 + 12x + 12
Now combine like terms:
2x < 12x + ( -2/3 + 12 )
2x < 12x + 11 1/3
Subtract 12x from each side:
-10x < 11 1/3
Divide each side by -10:
x < 1 2/15
There is your answer
