Solution Steps
To solve the inequality \(4(3 - 5x) < 28 - 4x\), we need to follow these steps:
Distribute the 4 on the left side of the inequality.
Combine like terms.
Isolate the variable \(x\) on one side of the inequality.
Solve for \(x\).
Express the solution in interval notation.
Graph the solution set on a number line.
Solution Approach
Distribute the 4 on the left side: \(4 \cdot 3 - 4 \cdot 5x < 28 - 4x\).
Simplify the expression: \(12 - 20x < 28 - 4x\).
Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constants to the other: \(12 - 28 < 20x - 4x\).
Simplify and solve for \(x\): \(-16 < 16x\), which gives \(x > -1\).
Express the solution in interval notation: \((-1, \infty)\).
Graph the solution set on a number line.
Step 1: Simplify the Inequality
Given the inequality:
\[ 4(3 - 5x) < 28 - 4x \]
First, distribute the 4 on the left-hand side:
\[ 4 \cdot 3 - 4 \cdot 5x < 28 - 4x \]
\[ 12 - 20x < 28 - 4x \]
Step 2: Combine Like Terms
Next, we need to get all the \( x \)-terms on one side and the constants on the other side. Add \( 20x \) to both sides:
\[ 12 - 20x + 20x < 28 - 4x + 20x \]
\[ 12 < 28 + 16x \]
Subtract 28 from both sides:
\[ 12 - 28 < 16x \]
\[ -16 < 16x \]
Step 3: Solve for \( x \)
Divide both sides by 16:
\[ \frac{-16}{16} < x \]
\[ -1 < x \]
Step 4: Express the Solution in Interval Notation
The solution in interval notation is:
\[ (-1, \infty) \]
Step 5: Graph the Solution Set
To graph the solution set on a number line, we draw an open circle at \( x = -1 \) and shade the line to the right of \( -1 \).
Final Answer
The solution set expressed in interval notation is:
\[
\boxed{(-1, \infty)}
\]
