Q: Find the solution set for the inequality -4x + 1 < 3.
Solution: -4x + 1 < 3 => -4x < 2 => x > -0.5.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Start with the inequality -4x + 1 < 3.
Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the term with x. This gives you -4x < 3 - 1.
Step 3: Simplify the right side. Now you have -4x < 2.
Step 4: To solve for x, divide both sides by -4. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign. So it becomes x > 2 / -4.
