Question

Solve and explain how you got your answer.
q + 12 – 2(q – 22) > 0
Help me solve this guys. I have tried to look for something that explains it, but nothing does. Only gives me the final answer, which I don't need.

Answer 1

It's an inequality equation, so lets solve LHS
q + 12 – 2(q – 22) > 0 parenthesis first
q+12-2q+44>0 Simpify
56-q>0 take q to RHS
56>q
0r q<56 ie, q is less than 56

Answer 2

So, how did you get the 44? You just multiplied the 22 by 2?

Answer 3

Wait nvm. I'm silly.

Answer 4

What happens after that though? Such as with the simplifying portion

Answer 5

We multiply what is outside of a parenthesis to inside of parenthesis to simply.

Answer 6

Wait. you just add the 12 to the 44 and then bring the q's together? Getting rid of the 2 in the process, giving me 56>q

Answer 7

let me make explain simplifying portion,
q+12+(-2)*(q-22)
q+12+(-2q+(-2)(-22))
q+12+(-2q+44)
q+12-2q+44 From here combine like terms
q-2q+12+44
-q+56
or 56-q>0

Answer 8

Okay I get it. Thanks for the help. Sorry for being a bit of a derp there.

Answer 9

we will use to simplify expressions, something called
"Order of Operations":
Parenthesis (Grouping)
Exponents
Multiply and Divide (Left to Right)
Add and Subtract (Left to Right)
Often we use the word PEMDAS to remember the order of operations.

Answer 10

Yea, I remember that. I just wasn't thinking right. I'm going to give you a medal and a fan though for the help. Thanks again

Answer 11

NP :)
