Question

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −6x − 10 > 14 + 2x.

−6x − 10 > 14 + 2x

_______________

−8x > 24

x < −3

Answer 1

This is my work Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−6x−10>2x+14

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

−6x−10−2x>2x+14−2x

−8x−10>14

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

−8x−10+10>14+10

−8x>24

Step 4: Divide both sides by -8.
