How do you solve the inequality 6(n + 2) < -72?

Back

First, distribute 6 to get 6n + 12 < -72. Then, subtract 12 from both sides to get 6n < -84. Finally, divide by 6 to find n < -14.

What is the first step in solving the inequality 3(x - 2) < 2(x + 9)?

Back

The first step is to distribute the numbers: 3x - 6 < 2x + 18.

Front

How do you isolate x in the inequality 3(x - 2) < 2(x + 9)?

Back

Subtract 2x from both sides to get x - 6 < 18, then add 6 to both sides to find x < 24.

Front

What is the solution to the inequality 10 > x - 3?

Back

To solve, add 3 to both sides to get 13 > x, or x < 13.
