Answer 2

firstly, you want to start off by collecting like terms.. so try doing so and post up what you get

Answer 3

x<-5

Answer 4

more precisely we can subtract from both sides 4x, so we get:
\[4x - 2 - 4x > 6x + 8 - 4x\]
please simplify

Answer 5

I want to see how it's don't, not just the answer

Answer 6

please do not give direct answers .....if you do, at least tell how you got it

Answer 7

How would I simplify that?

Answer 8

it is simple, you have to sum similar terms, so we get this:
\[\begin{gathered}
4x - 2 - 4x = - 2 \hfill \\
6x + 8 - 4x = 2x + 8 \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]
