Which is a correct first step in solving the inequality –4(2x – 1) > 5 – 3x? distribute –4 to get –8x + 4 > 5 – 3x. distribute –4 to get –8x – 1 > 5 – 3x. subtract 2x from both sides of the inequality. add 1 to both sides of the inequality.

Hence, the correct step in solving the inequality:

                is:

We are given a inequality in terms of variable x as:

We know that while solving a inequality we must follow the following steps:

Firstly we must solve the parentheses term.

secondly we must combine the like terms and simplify them

Then we must solve for the variable x.

Here also we must firstly solve the parentheses term as follows:
