-4(x-9) + 2x < -6
Distribute the -4:
-4x + 36 + 2x < -6
Combine like terms:
-2x + 36 < -6
Subtract 36 from both sides:
-2x < -42
Divide by -2 (and reverse the inequality because of the division by a negative number):
x > 21
The solution to the inequality is x > 21.
Solve the inequality. Make sure to show your work.
