Answer 1

Are there any answers choices hence to this question?

Answer 2

The question states:

Identify the two values of x that make 10x-8>2(4x+2) true.

The values:
4,6,10,15,-8,-5,-2,0

Answer 3

@sailor Is answering so it finna be right

Answer 4

Well, start off by plugging in 4.
10(4)-8>2(4(4)+2)
You would start off with distributing 2 to 4 and 2
10(4)-8>8(4)+4
Then you would multiply
40-8>32+2
Subtract 8 from 40, then add 2 to 32
32>34
So the value 4 wouldnt be correct

Answer 5

If you plug in 6, you would have to do the same steps but instead of 4, plugging in 6
10(6)-8>2(4(6)+2)
10(6)-8>8(6)+2
60-8>48+2
52>50
6 would be a value to make the equation true so therefore it is correct

Answer 6

10(10)-8>2(4(10)+2)
10(10)-8>8(10)+2
100-8>80+2
92>82
10 would also be a value that makes the equation true

Answer 7

To show how you would distribute with a negative, it's basically the same thing.
10(-8)-8>2(4(-8)+2)
10(-8)-8>8(-8)+2
-80-8>-64+2
When you subtract something from a negative, you would end up actually changing the subtraction symbol to an addition symbol, but the 8 would be negative.
When you add a positive number to a negative number, you would actually cancel out whatever is being added to the negative number.
-88>-62
With negatives, the higher number would actually be -62. So therefore, -8 wouldn't be a value that makes the equation true.

Answer 8

10x-8>2(4x+2)
10x-8>8x+2
10x-8x>2+8
2x>10
divide by 2
x>5
so 6,10,15 are the correct choices.
