Math Problem Statement

Solve the inequality 4x - 2 < 5 - 3x for real x.

Solution

The inequality in the image is:

4x2<53x4x - 2 < 5 - 3x

Let's solve this step by step.

Step 1: Move the terms involving xx to one side.

Add 3x3x to both sides:

4x+3x2<54x + 3x - 2 < 5

This simplifies to:

7x2<57x - 2 < 5

Step 2: Move the constant term to the other side.

Add 2 to both sides:

7x<5+27x < 5 + 2

Simplifying the right-hand side:

7x<77x < 7

Step 3: Solve for xx.

Divide both sides by 7:

x<1x < 1

Final Solution:

The solution to the inequality is:

x<1x < 1
