s < - 12

s > - 4

s < - 4

s > - 12

Answer 1

ok do you have any ideas on how to solve it?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

wait, let me clarify one thing, is it -2s or just 2s?

Answer 4

-2s

Answer 5

- 2s + 8 < 16
now we want to isolate or make s to be by itself, that is the method of solving something.
first we would bright the 8 to the right hand side, we do this by minusing eight on both sides
-2s + 8-8 < 16-8
-2s < 8
now we just have to divide by -2 on both sides but whenever you times or divide by a negative number you have to remember to switch the signs the other way around.
-2s/-2 < 8/-2
s > -4
so answer is B, tell me if you don't understand anything
