OpenStudy (agent0smith):

@LickMyKicks d isn't correct...

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

If you still need help I'll help you solve it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wow , uhm sure

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

−2x − 4 > 8 First add 4 to both sides to cancel out the -4, like so −2x − 4 > 8 + 4 +4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

What do you get after adding 4 to both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhmm , 2 and 8?...

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

−2x − 4 > 8 + 4 +4 The -4 +4 cancels out, and on the left side we get -2x, and on the right, 8+4 is 12, so -2x > 12

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

@LickMyKicks now try dividing both sides by -2. Remember that dividing by a negative means the > sign changes direction.
