You haven't shown that you did, and your answer is wrong.
Go back to the beginning, and just subtract 2x from both sides and show what you get.

i cant tell you. i do not simply 'give' answers because it is against the OpenStudy CoC.

6x - 8 > 4x + 26 
Subtract 2x from both sides and show what you get.

x > 17

mathstudent55 · Answer

You can continue guessing answers, but you still haven't shown you can do even one step. If you come across a question that is not multiple choice, what will you do?

anonymous · Answer

6x - 8 > 4x + 26 
-4x       -4x
2x - 8 > 26
2x+8 > +8
2x > 34
x > 17
