Question

Which is a solution of the inequality?

p + 4 – 2(p – 10) > 0

Answer 1

Distribute the -2 to (p-10)
first.

Answer 2

Then combine the like terms and get p on one side, and get p by itself through division if necessary.

Answer 3

When you multiply or divide by a negative number in inequalities you flip the sign. So, keep that in mind.

Answer 4

22?

Answer 5

nope.
and remember this is an inequality you don't just say p is n (n just represents any number)
you say p > n or p < n .
Try solving it and show your work, that way I can see where you went wrong in the process of solving it.

Answer 6

p > 26

Answer 7

@shamil98

Answer 8

P + 4 - 2(p-10) > 0
distribute the negative 2
p + 4 -2p + 20 > 0
combine the like terms what do you get?

Answer 9

if you're correct you should get
-p + 24 > 0

Answer 10

and then many people will perform the Careless Mistake by changing -p+24>0 to p-24>0 which is not correct
