Solve/isolate "x"...... 2(x-2) - (2x-7) < - 11
First: distribute the outer term with the terms in parenthesis.....
2(x) + 2(-2) - (2x-7) < - 11
2x + (- 4) - (2x-7) < - 11
2x - 4 - (2x-7) < - 11
*Disitrubte the outer negative sign with the terms in parenthesis....
2x - 4 - 2x - (-7) < - 11

shelter the inequality sign as though it have been an equivalent sign. thirteen.) 5x>2x+9 combine like words -2x -2x 3x>9 divide via 14.) -3x+3>9 combine like words -3x>6 divide via x>-2 with a damaging answer, replace the inequality sign around. 15.) 4x-5>2x+3 combine like words 2x>8 divide via
