00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.017
Here is the problem: x plus 2 less than 4x plus 5.

2
00:00:04.467 --> 00:00:08.194
Solve the inequality and give the answer in interval notation.

3
00:00:08.994 --> 00:00:21.347
Move everything to one side and isolate the variable. Collect terms: negative 3x minus 3 less than 0. Dividing by a negative coefficient reverses the inequality sign.

4
00:00:21.797 --> 00:00:37.552
Test one point in each interval (sign chart). (-∞, negative 1): test x equals negative 2 → sign plus → excluded; (negative 1, ∞): test x equals 0 → sign minus → included.

5
00:00:38.002 --> 00:00:41.137
Decide the endpoints. negative 1: excluded.

6
00:00:41.587 --> 00:00:43.131
Write the solution set.

7
00:00:43.931 --> 00:00:46.683
So the answer is (negative 1, ∞).

8
00:00:47.133 --> 00:01:02.296
The inequality holds exactly for x in (negative 1, ∞). Points where the expression is undefined are never included, and endpoints are included only for less than or equal to or greater than or equal to where the expression equals zero.

9
00:01:03.096 --> 00:01:07.403
x equals negative 2: does not satisfy the inequality.

10
00:01:07.853 --> 00:01:11.324
x equals 0: satisfies the inequality.
