Answer 1

We can remove options B and C from the list, now what do you think the answer is?

Answer 2

a?

Answer 3

Close, but look at the sign in the first equation, −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8? .. notice the direction of the sign before the -2x.

Answer 4

-2x - 8 > -8 and -2x - 8 < -44 is the answer because of −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8? is the same as it
