Solve the inequality for x.
(x - 1) - (1 - x) < (x - 1) - (2 - 2x)
(x - 1) - (1 - x) < (x - 1) - (2 - 2x)
(x + 1) - (1 - x) < (x - 1) - (2 - 2x)
x + 1 - 1 + x < x - 1 - 2 + 2x {removed parentheses}
2x < 3x - 3 {combined like terms}
-x < -3 {subtracted 3x from each side}
x > 3 {divided each side by -1 and changed the inequality sign}
Whenever you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number,
change (reverse) the inequality sign.
