Question

-(2 + 2m) - 2 > 6

Answer 1

simplify?

Answer 2

First, you gotta distibute.


\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow -2 - 2m - 2>6 }\)

Now, operate on the like terms.

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow -2m - 4 >6 }\)

Add four to both sides.
\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow -2m >10 }\)

Divide both sides by NEGATIVE 2(Note that the inequality changes)
\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow m<-5 }\)
