To solve the inequality \( 4(2 - x) > -2x - 3(4x + 1) \), let's start by simplifying both sides of the inequality.
-
Distribute the \( 4 \) on the left side: \[ 4(2 - x) = 8 - 4x \]
-
Distribute the \( -3 \) on the right side: \[ -3(4x + 1) = -12x - 3 \] So, the right side becomes: \[ -2x - 12x - 3 = -14x - 3 \]
Thus, the inequality simplifies to: \[ 8 - 4x > -14x - 3 \]
-
Next, let's add \( 14x \) to both sides: \[ 8 - 4x + 14x > -3 \] Simplifying gives: \[ 8 + 10x > -3 \]
-
Now, subtract \( 8 \) from both sides: \[ 10x > -3 - 8 \] So, we have: \[ 10x > -11 \]
-
Finally, divide by \( 10 \): \[ x > -\frac{11}{10} \] or \[ x > -1.1 \]
Now that we have the solution \( x > -1.1 \), we can check the given x values:
- \( x = -1.1 \): Not a solution (since it is not greater than -1.1)
- \( x = -2.2 \): Not a solution (since -2.2 is less than -1.1)
- \( x = 0 \): Solution (since 0 is greater than -1.1)
- \( x = -10 \): Not a solution (since -10 is less than -1.1)
- \( x = 10 \): Solution (since 10 is greater than -1.1)
Thus, the values that are solutions to the inequality are:
- x = 0
- x = 10
