Step-by-step explanation:

3 - (2x - 5) < -4 (x+2)

distribute

3 - 2x + 5 < -4x - 8

add the numbers

8 - 2x < -4x - 8

move the x

2x < -16

divide

x < -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find a common denominator

To find a common denominator, find a multiple that both fractions have. In this case, the common denominator is 18 because 9 can get to 18 by 9 x 2 and 6 can get to 18 by 6 x 3.

2. Convert your fractions to both have a common denominator.

2/9 x 2/2 = 4/18              5/6 x 3/3 = 15/18

3. Compare

4/18 < 15/18 which means

2/9 < 5/6

Hope this helps!
