First, let's simplify the inequality step-by-step. 1. Start with the original inequality: \[ \frac{3-7x}{10} + \frac{x+1}{2} > 4 - \frac{7-3x}{2} \] 2. To eliminate the fractions, find a common denominator, which is 10: \[ \frac{3 - 7x}{10} + \frac{5(x + 1)}{10} > 4 - \frac{5(7 - 3x)}{10} \] 3. This simplifies to: \[ \frac{3 - 7x + 5x + 5}{10} > 4 - \frac{35 - 15x}{10} \] 4. Combine like terms: \[ \frac{8 - 2x}{10} > 4 - \frac{35 - 15x}{10} \] 5. Rearranging the right side: \[ \frac{8 - 2x}{10} > \frac{40 - 35 + 15x}{10} \] \[ \frac{8 - 2x}{10} > \frac{5 + 15x}{10} \] 6. Multiply through by 10 (since 10 is positive, the direction of the inequality doesn't change): \[ 8 - 2x > 5 + 15x \] 7. Rearranging gives: \[ 8 - 5 > 15x + 2x \] \[ 3 > 17x \] 8. Finally, divide both sides by 17: \[ x < \frac{3}{17} \] So the solution to the inequality is: \[ x < \frac{3}{17} \]
