Question

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality -x - 10 > 14 + 2x.

-x - 10 > 14 + 2x

-3x -10 > 14

 

x < -8

so what do you think is the missing step/s?

anonymous · Answer

i think it requires a few steps to solve the problem but here they are -3x > 14 +10 -3x > 24 3x < -24 x < -8 notice the change of the inequality sign when you multiply both sides by -1

what is it ?

-x-10>14+2x
first make constants at one sides 
-x-10+10>14+10+2x
-x>24+2x
& now make variables at one sides
-x+x>24+2x+x
0>24+3x
now u can take 24 to L.H.S. like
-24>3x
-24/3>x
-8>x
