Question

Solve.

–6 ≥ 10 – 8x
(Points : 1)

Answer 1

Add 8x to both sides.

Then what?

Answer 2

okay one sec

Answer 3

do change this sign

Answer 4

Just add 8x. There is no other consideration.

Answer 5

oh okay is there anway you could help me just one more time please ill give you a medal

Answer 6

3 + d < 3 – d
(Points : 1)
d < 6
d < –6
d > –3
d < 0

Answer 7

Please demonstrate the addition of 8x. Do it on both sides and simplify.

Answer 8

okay i took -6 and add 8 witch gave me 2 and i got confused with the answer choices

Answer 9

Why would you combine -6 and 8x? Those are not like terms.

Show the entire inequality after the addition.

Answer 10

2 >- the line goes underneath it then 10

Answer 11

No, you still combined 6 and 8x. Don't do that. Try again.

Answer 12

well im confused idk then

Answer 13

Why not just do it without combining the -6 and 8x?

–6 ≥ 10 – 8x

-6 + 8x ≥ 10

Only combine LIKE terms. Terms with x and terms without x are not LIKE terms. Don't combine them.

Answer 14

okay im lost

Answer 15

Find the LIKE terms in this list
1
3x
6y
7x
z
There are two LIKE terms.

Answer 16

3 and 7
i know what that is okay i do not understand the question please breack it dw step by step

Answer 17

No, 3x and 7x. Why do you keep deleting the variable names? Don't do that.

Answer 18

it is 2x then question

Answer 19

–6 ≥ 10 – 8x

-6 + 8x ≥ 10

Now, add 6 to both sides.

Answer 20

i did that and it got me 2x

Answer 21

all i need to know where does the sign gox ≥ 2
x ≥ –2
x ≤ 2
x ≤ –2

Answer 22

< or >

Answer 23

No, it did not get you "2x" There should still be a whole inequality in there. Where does it keep going? Go ahead and write the ENTIRE expression, equation, or inequality. Stop trying to take shortcuts and use shorthand. WRITE IT OUT so you can follow it and make sense. Why would ≤ change position or direction?

Answer 24

okay i still have the 2x >then the 10 okay

Answer 25

I don't understand why you will not show any work.

Original Inequality
–6 ≥ 10 – 8x

Add 8x to both sides
-6 + 8x ≥ 10
See how that is still a complete inequality. No ambiguity. Easy to follow.

Add 6 to both sides.
8x ≥ 16
See how that is still a complete inequality. No ambiguity. Easy to follow.

Divide both sides by 8.
x ≥ 2
See how that is still a complete inequality. No ambiguity. Easy to follow.

Now, why is there still a question about the direction of the inequality?

Please develop a style and thoroughness that actually works and allow you to follow your work.
