Question

is the following inequality always, sometimes or never true? 2(8x-4)-2x<14x+12 please answer :)

Answer 1

So we have
\[2(8x-4)-2x\lt14x+12\]
We need to isolate for x

Answer 2

So you can expand it to:
\[16x-8-2x\lt14x+12\]
So now you need to group like terms. So \(x\)'s with \(x\)'s and numbers with numbers. What do you get?

Answer 3

idk help

Answer 4

Well it works like this:
\[14x-8\lt14x+12\]
\[14x-14x\lt12+8\]
\[0(x)\lt20\]
\[x\lt\frac{20}{0}\]
Since the only value is not valid, the inequality is false.

thank you

Answer 19

ALWAYS True @gowingspans1234 Because you have the following inequality:
\[14x-8\lt14x+12\] And so therefore since both sides have the same slope, this is true for any x value
