Please help... I don't no what I'm doing wrong. 24 10 – 2x
Solve using the addition and multiplication principles. Be sure to show all of your work.
= 24 - 10 + 2x- 2x 10 - 2x + 2x - 24 combine like terms
= 14x + 2 14 -2x
= 16x/ 16 12x/ 16 divide by 16
= x 12x/16
= x 1
Check: Using 1
24 10 – 2x
= 24 10 – 2(1) multiply by 1
= 24 8

Question

Please help... I don't no what I'm doing wrong. 24 > 10 – 2x
Solve using the addition and multiplication principles. Be sure to show all of your work. 
= 24 - 10 + 2x- 2x > 10 - 2x + 2x - 24     combine like terms
= 14x + 2 > 14 -2x
= 16x/ 16> 12x/ 16   divide by 16
= x > 12x/16            
= x > 1
Check: Using 1
24 > 10 – 2x
= 24> 10 – 2(1)      multiply by 1
= 24 > 8

Hold on here.. I think you're doing too much at once:
$$24 \gt 10 - 2x$$

So first you want to move the x to the other side? Just add 2x to both sides.

$$24 + 2x > 10$$

anonymous · Answer

Now you want to get the 2x by itself so subtract 24 from both sides.

Ok thanks. I understand now. I know it didn't like right on the other side thanks again
