7x+2greater than or equal to 2(2x-4)+3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[7x+2\le2(2x-4)+3x\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Distribute the 2 to each term in the brackets.\[\Large 7x+2\le 2\cdot2x-4\cdot2+3x\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So after we multiply those things, I guess that gives us,\[\Large 7x+2\le 4x-8+3x\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Looks like we can combine some x's on the right side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the right side would say 7x-8

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yes :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

what step is next? remember?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i subtract 7x from bith sides and i got 2ge-8

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh oh, it's greater than? You used the wrong sign in your equation. Careful there! :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Or is that the way it's written for you?

i messed up again its le but my answer would be always true right?
