Question 273733


{{{x+2<2(-6x+1)-3}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{x+2<-12x+2-3}}} Distribute.



{{{x+2<-12x-1}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x<-12x-1-2}}} Subtract {{{2}}} from both sides.



{{{x+12x<-1-2}}} Add {{{12x}}} to both sides.



{{{13x<-1-2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{13x<-3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x<(-3)/(13)}}} Divide both sides by {{{13}}} to isolate {{{x}}}. 



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


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x<-3/13}}}
