Add to both sides.


Add to both sides.


Combine like terms on the left side.


Combine like terms on the right side.


Divide both sides by to isolate . note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is


Which in decimal form is






C)

Start with the given equation.


Subtract 12 from both sides.


Combine like terms.


Multiply both sides by -1.


Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have , then or )

or Set the expression equal to the original value 3 and it's opposite -3


Now lets focus on the first equation


Subtract 7 from both sides


Combine like terms on the right side


Divide both sides by -2 to isolate m


Divide


--------------------------------


Now lets focus on the second equation


Subtract 7 from both sides


Combine like terms on the right side


Divide both sides by -2 to isolate m


Divide


So the solutions are: or

Solve:
A. 5x-4(6+2x)<2(1-x)
5x-24-8x<2-2x
-3x-24 < 2-2x
Add 3x to both sides: subtract 2 from both sides
5x < -26
x < -26/5
============================
B. x-9<3x-4
Subtract x from both sides: Add 4 to both sides
2x > -5
x > -5/2
============================

C. 12-/7-2m/=9
|7-2m| = 3
7-2m = 3 or 7-2m = -3
2m = 4 or 2m = 10
m = 2 or m = 5
========================
Cheers,
stan H.
