Math Problem Statement

5(3-x)>-2x+6

Solution

We are tasked with solving the inequality:

5(3x)>2x+65(3 - x) > -2x + 6

Let's go through the steps.

Step 1: Distribute the 55 on the left-hand side.

535x>2x+65 \cdot 3 - 5 \cdot x > -2x + 6 155x>2x+615 - 5x > -2x + 6

Step 2: Move all the xx-terms to one side and constants to the other.

Add 5x5x to both sides: 15>3x+615 > 3x + 6

Step 3: Subtract 66 from both sides:

9>3x9 > 3x

Step 4: Solve for xx by dividing both sides by 3:

x<3x < 3

Thus, the solution is: x<3x < 3

Final Answer:

x<3x < 3

  4. Can you try solving a similar inequality like 4(2x)x+84(2 - x) \geq -x + 8?
  5. What if the inequality was 5(3x)2x+65(3 - x) \leq -2x + 6?

Tip: When dividing or multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number, remember to reverse the inequality symbol!
