Question

What value of x is in the solution set of –2(3x + 2) > –8x + 6?


–6
–5
5
6

Answer 1

just a question no diagrams

Answer 2

Do you know the first step?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Ok so the first step is to distribute `-2` to everything inside of the parenthesis
which is `3x` and `2`
So we're doing
\(-2(3x)=?\\-2(2)=?\)

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

Do you know?
\(-2(3x)=?\\-2(2)=?\)

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

for \(-2(3x)=?\)
simply do -2 x 3 then add on the x to the end-

Answer 9

6x

Answer 10

-6x
but close enough.

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

So then for the second one just do the same thing
just without x

Answer 13

-2 x 2

Answer 14

-4

Answer 15

Yes
so now we have \(−6x−4>−8x+6\)
we get `-8x` and change the minus `(-)` to a plus `(+)`
so now that it's a plus we have `+8x`
now we add 8x to both sides of the equation
\(−6x−4+8x>−8x+6+8x\)

Answer 16

So I believe we should get \(2x−4>6\)
then we do that same method again
get `-4`
change the minus to a plus
now we have +4
so we add 4 to both sides of the equation
we should get \(2x>10\)
because \(2x−4+4>6+4\)
6+4=10

Answer 17

Do you know what we do next?

Answer 18

idk

Answer 19

oof
you divide both sides by 2
you think you can do that?

Answer 20

Ok so we'll have
\(\LARGE\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{10}{2}\)
\(\cancel{\frac{2x}{2}}=\frac{10}{2}\) (2x/2 cancels)
all you have left is 10/2
so simplify that then you should have your answer
\(\frac{10}{2}=?\)
x=?

Answer 21

5

Answer 22

Yes
so \(x>5\)
