Question 16270: 2+3x < 3(x-1)

2+3x < 3(x-1)
2+3x < 3x-3 Distribute the 3.
-2 -2 Subtract a 2 from both sides (trying to get x by itself)
3x < 3x-5
-3x -3x Subtract a 3x from both sides
0<-5 This is a false statement so there is no number that will work for this inequality. If it had been a true statement (such as 0>-5) then any real number would have worked for x.
