Question

How do you solve 3x + 7 > 4x + 2?

Answer 1

`x < 5`

Explanation:

Perform the necessary mathematics to isolate and solve for `x` while keeping the inequality balanced:

`3x + 7 - 3x - 2 > 4x + 2 - 3x - 2`

`7 - 2 > x + 0`

`5 > x`

Then flip the inequality to get the solution in terms of `x`:

`x < 5`
