The second step for solving the inequality 3(x−5)−4x>9 is to distribute.
The second step for solving the inequality 3(x−5)−4x>9 is to distribute. Distributing means to multiply the number outside the parentheses (in this case, 3) by each term inside the parentheses (in this case, x and -5).
To distribute, multiply 3 by x to get 3x, and multiply 3 by -5 to get -15. The inequality becomes:
3x - 15 - 4x > 9
Now that you have distributed, move on to the next step.
