-3%288-4x%29-3x%3C7x-18 Start with the given inequality.


-24%2B12x-3x%3C7x-18 Distribute.


9x-24%3C7x-18 Combine like terms on the left side.


9x%3C7x-18%2B24 Add 24 to both sides.


9x-7x%3C-18%2B24 Subtract 7x from both sides.


2x%3C-18%2B24 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x%3C6 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%286%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x%3C3 Reduce.
