If 2(3x-2) < 6-3x and 6x + 2(6-x) > 2x-2, then x can take which of the following values?
Expression 1Â :Â 2(3x-2) < 6-3x
=> $$6x - 4$$ < $$6 - 3x$$
=> $$6x + 3x$$ < $$6 + 4$$ => $$9x$$ < $$10$$
=> $$x$$ < $$\frac{10}{9}$$
Expression 2Â : 6x + 2(6-x) > 2x-2
=> $$6x + 12 - 2x$$ > $$2x - 2$$
=> $$4x - 2x$$ > $$-2 - 12$$ => $$2x$$ > $$-14$$
=> $$x$$ > $$\frac{-14}{2}$$ > $$-7$$
Combining above inequalities, $$-7$$ < $$x$$ < $$\frac{10}{9}$$
The only number that satisfies above inequality is -5
