$\"\"$

The inequality is $\"\"$ .

Add 3 to each side.

$\"\"$

Multiply each side by negative one and flip the symbol.

$\"\"$

product of two same sings is positive.

$\"\"$

Check:

To check, substitute three different values for x into the original inequality: $\"\"$ , a number less than $\"\"$ , and greater than $\"\"$ .

Let three values are $\"\"$ .

If $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ (This is false)

If $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ (This is true)

If $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ (This is true) $\"\"$

The solution set is $\"\"$ .
