Is the inequality below sometimes, always, or never true? -2(2x + 9) > -4x + 9 A. always B. sometimes C. never

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

I eliminated A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-2(2x + 9) > -4x + 9\] DISTRIBUTE the left side \[ -4x - 18 > -4x + 9\]

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

-2(2x+9)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm, so \(\bf -4x - 18 > -4x + 9 \implies a - 18 \gt a +9\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

now , can that be true?

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

No

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

there

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

Thanks
