Answer 2

how thou

Answer 3

I'm asking if that is what we're doing.

Answer 4

yea

Answer 5

Solve this inequality for x: -46 − 8x > 22.
A.
x < 8.5
B.
x < -8.5
C.
x > -8.5
D.
x > 8.5

Answer 6

add 46 on both sides to get rid of -46

Answer 7

And then divide both sides by negative 8 to find what's less than x

Answer 8

\(−46−8x>22\)

\(−8x−46>22\)

+46, both sides:
\(−8x−46+46>22+46\)
\(-8x≥68\)

÷–8, both sides, using a fraction bar:
\(\frac{8x}{-8}>\frac{68}{-8}\)
\(x<\frac{?}{?}\)

Answer 9

22+46=68
and then divide 68 by -8 which equals.....

Answer 10

x<8.5?
