Question

2(x + 5) > 8x – 8
10 + 8 > 8x – 2x
18> 6x
3> x
Did I do this Inequality right or no and if not can u help me and explain what I did wrong and help me get the right answer ?

Answer 1

you r right hun

Answer 2

You did it wrong which may result in the wrong outcome (the solution).
2(x+5) > 8x - 8
5*2 = 10 (you got that but you forgot the x)

Answer 3

@AllTheLonelyKillers She isn't right, please don't give her the wrong impression.

Answer 4

please explain how u got ur answer

Answer 5

Her inequality sign needs to be switched. x < 3

Answer 6

I'm not good with solving inequalities. but she didn't distribute/foil correctly

Answer 7

what is the answer then

Answer 8

2(x + 5) > 8x – 8
2x + 10x > 8x-8
12x > 8x-8

Can you take it from here? If not, your step by step might be correct, you just need to flip the sign. SOMEWHERE in inequality step by step, the inequality gets flipped due to the equation. You never flipped it.

Answer 9

I already said the answer

Answer 10

well @whalexnuker wouldn't i have to take 12x > 8x - 8 and divide them by 8x or no

Answer 11

thts exactually what she got
x<3

Answer 12

wait so the only thing I did wrong was not flip the equation

Answer 13

That's what I'm stuck on XD
12/8 = 1.5 so it doesn't work...
honestly, i'd just flip your sign, yes. if the teacher tells you you missed a step, you can always redo it

Answer 14

x<3=3>x is the same thing

Answer 15

@whalexnuker U R WRONG!! The answer @NadiaElhaj_1 had got is perfectly correct. the inequality sign will only flipped the side if u multiply or divide the inequality by a negative sign. In this inequality u don't have to do any multiplications or divisions which include negative signs

Answer 16

thank you good man

Answer 17

really ? @***[ISURU]*** Thanks

Answer 18

@***[ISURU]*** @AllTheLonelyKillers I get that it's the same thing but it's correct for a school student to write "x<3" not "3>x"
