A. [tex][tex]$x \ \textgreater \ -4$[/tex][/tex]
B. [tex]$x \ \textless \ -4$[/tex]
C. [tex]$x \ \textgreater \ -3$[/tex]
D. [tex][tex]$x \ \textless \ -3$[/tex][/tex]



Answer :

To find which inequality represents all the solutions of [tex]\(10(3x + 2) > 7(2x - 4)\)[/tex], let's solve it step-by-step:

1. Expand both sides:
[tex]\[ 10(3x + 2) > 7(2x - 4) \][/tex]
Applying the distributive property:
[tex]\[ 30x + 20 > 14x - 28 \][/tex]

2. Isolate terms involving [tex]\(x\)[/tex] on one side:
Subtract [tex]\(14x\)[/tex] from both sides:
[tex]\[ 30x - 14x + 20 > 14x - 14x - 28 \][/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\[ 16x + 20 > -28 \][/tex]

3. Isolate the constant term:
Subtract 20 from both sides:
[tex]\[ 16x + 20 - 20 > -28 - 20 \][/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\[ 16x > -48 \][/tex]

4. Solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
Divide both sides by 16:
[tex]\[ \frac{16x}{16} > \frac{-48}{16} \][/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\[ x > -3 \][/tex]

The correct answer which represents all the solutions of the inequality [tex]\(10(3x + 2) > 7(2x - 4)\)[/tex] is:

C. [tex]\(x > -3\)[/tex]
