0.3(11x+4) greater than 2.1 -(x+8)

Answer 1

Except for multiplying/dividing by a negative terms, treat an inequality just like an equation.

0.3(11x + 4) > 2.1 -(x+8)

Get rid of parentheses.

3.3x + 1.2 > 2.1 - x -8

Get all x terms on one side and numerical terms on the other by adding and subtracting terms.

4.3x > -7.1

Divide both sides by 4.3.

x > -1.65(+)
