Process:
First, we are going to distribute in the parentheses.
2(4x+1) < 3(2x-3)
8x+2 < 6x-9
Now we are going to combine the like terms. (It is easier to move smaller terms to the bigger ones)
8x+2 < 6x-9
-6x+2 < -6x-9
= 2x+2 < -9
(There are more like terms!)
2x+2 < -9
2x+9 < +9
= 2x+11 < 0
2x+11 < 0
2x-11 < -11
= 2x < -11
Lastly, divide to get 'x' by itself
2x < -11
---- < ----
2 < 2
= x < -5.5
So, 'x' is less than -5.5.
Hope this helped:)
