D. X>-2

⭐️help please ⭐️

Answer 1

-2x-4=8
-2x=8+4
-2x=12
x=12/-2
x=-6

Answer 2

Yes that is good, but now you have to worry about the direction of the inequality. You can keep " > " all the way through until the step x "=" 12/-2 in which case you must use
x < 12/-2

You must reverse the inequality sign when you divide both sides by a negative number
