3x + 1 < −2x + 8 a. multiplication or division property of order b. addition or subtraction property of order c. distributive property

Hello there!

The correct answer is B. Why? Well, we cannot choose A, because we don't have a multiplication sign. We cannot choose C because we also don't have a multiplication sign. However, since we have a PLUS sign and a Subtraction sign, we can say that the correct answer is option B.

3x + 1 < -2x + 8

We wanna start by subtracting 1 on both sides

3x + 1 - 1 < -2x + 8 - 1

3x < -2x + 7

Add 2x on both sides

3x + 2x < -2x + 7 + 2x

5x < 7

x < 7/5
