4(3x - 5) - 6x < 6x + 1
Distributive Property:
12x - 20 - 6x < 6x + 1
Simplifying the left side:
6x - 20 < 6x + 1
Subtract 6x from both sides:
-20 < 1
This is a true statement; no matter what value you replace for x in the original inequality, the inequality can never be made false.
Answer: All numbers work.
