The second step for solving the inequality 3(x-5)-4x > 9 is to undo addition or subtraction. In this case, we need to simplify the expression by distributing the 3 through the parentheses.
So, we have: 3x - 15 - 4x > 9
Next, we can combine like terms by combining the x terms. Rewrite the inequality as: -x - 15 > 9
To undo addition or subtraction, we need to isolate the variable x by getting rid of the -15. To do this, we perform the opposite operation. In this case, we add 15 to both sides of the inequality.
This gives us: -x - 15 + 15 > 9 + 15
Simplifying further: -x > 24
We have now undone the addition or subtraction, and the expression simplifies to -x > 24.
