Question

How do you solve `2x-4+7x< -6x+41`?

Answer 1

`2x-4+7x<-6x+41`

All `x` on one side numbers on another.

`2x+7x+6x<4+41`

`15x<45`

`x<45/15`

`x<3`

Answer 2

`x<3`

Explanation:

We can combine the variables on the left to get

`9x-4<-6x+41`

Next, to get our variables on one side, we can add `6x` to both sides to get

`15x-4<41`

Next, add `4` to both sides to get

`15x<45`

Lastly, we divide both sides by `15` to get

`x<3`

Hope this helps!
