Question 16270
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.
