Solve the inequality for x

3(x + 4) > 4 - X

x>-2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 4) > 4 - X

Distribute

3x+12> 4-x

Add x to each side

3x+12+x > 4-x+x

4x+12 > 4

Subtract 12 from each side

4x+12-12>4-12

4x> -8

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 > -8/4

x>-2

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.
