  1. x < -1
  2. x > -1
  3. x < -7
  4. x > -7

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the inequality: -2(x + 3) > 4.
  • Step 1: Distribute -2 to both terms inside the parentheses: -2(x + 3) becomes -2x - 6. So, the inequality is now -2x - 6 > 4.
  • Step 2: Add 6 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with x. This gives us -2x > 10.
  • Step 3: Divide both sides by -2. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. So, x < -5.
