Question

Solve for x: 4x - 2 > 6x + 8.

x > -5
x < -5
x > 5
x < 5

Answer 1

Solve -2*(x+5) > 0

Answer 2

step 1 : add 2 to both sides
step 2 : subtract 6x from both sides
step 3 : combine like terms
step 4 : divide both sides by -2....remember that when dividing by a negative (in an inequality) means that the inequality sign changes

Answer 3

im not sure how to do that, really...

Answer 4

step by step...
4x - 2 > 6x + 8 -- add 2 to both sides
4x - 2 + 2 > 6x + 8 + 2 (the 2's on the left side cancel out)
4x > 6x + 8 + 2 --now subtract 6x from both sides
4x - 6x > 6x - 6x + 8 + 2 (the 6x's on the right side cancel out)
combine like terms
-2x > 10 -- divide both sides by -2 (change inequality sign)
x < -5

Answer 5
