Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Determine the solution set for the inequality 7x + 3 < 4x + 12.
Correct Answer: x < 3
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 7x + 3 < 4x + 12.
  • Step 2: To isolate the variable x, subtract 4x from both sides: 7x - 4x + 3 < 12.
  • Step 3: This simplifies to: 3x + 3 < 12.
  • Step 4: Next, subtract 3 from both sides: 3x < 12 - 3.
  • Step 5: This simplifies to: 3x < 9.
  • Step 6: Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x: x < 9 / 3.
  • Step 7: This gives us the final solution: x < 3.
