Help please! Will give a medal! Solve x - 8 > -2 x > -10 x > 6 x > 10 x > -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choice B.

OpenStudy (blondey_315):

Can you explain why though? This kind of stuff confuses me >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to do the opposite of subtraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you add 8 to both sides

OpenStudy (blondey_315):

so `2 +8= 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 +8 cancels each other so -2+8=6

OpenStudy (blondey_315):

oh yea I forgot the negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats it!! lol

OpenStudy (blondey_315):
