Question

Solve for x: −2x − 4 > 8
x < −6

x > −6

x < −2

x > −2

its the third one right?

Answer 1

i think its the second one..

Answer 2

because
-2x > 8 + 4
-2x > 12
x > 12/-2
therefore
x > -6
if you bring 8 to the LHS and -2x to the RHS, you get the same thing

Answer 3

thank you so much

Answer 4

no its the first one

when you divided by -2 you have to flip the inequality sign

x < −6

Answer 5

also if you test your answers you will see it is wrong

Answer 6

-2y - 4 > 8 --- add 4 to both sides
-2y > 12 -- divide by -2 and change the sign
y < -6
zpupster is correct
