What is the final step in solving the inequality negative 2 times open paren 5 minus 4 x close paren is less than 6 x minus 4 ?
Answer
A
x is less than negative 3
B
x is less than 3
C
x is greater than 3
D
x is greater than negative 3
Explanation
Distribute −2 to get −10 + 8x < 6x − 4. Subtract 6x and add 10 on both sides to obtain 2x < 6; dividing by 2 gives x < 3, so the final step leads to “x is less than 3.”
