Solve 7x + 1 < 4(x - 2).
7x+1 < 4(x-2) simplify gives 7x+1 < 4x-8 and collect terms... 3x < -9 i'd solve it as an equality 3x = -9 giving x = -3 see if zero is in the solution set 7*0 +1 < 4(0-2) 1 < -8 false so x < -3 (doesn't contain zero) and: x < - 3 I hope this helped!
Your answer would be x<−3
