Answer:

Explanation:

Solve -6 < 2x + 4 ≤ 16

To solve for x, we need to simplify the statement.

let's get rid of the 4 that is added to 2x.

do that by subtracting 4 on all sides (3 sides).

-6 - 4 < 2x + 4 - 4 ≤ 16-4

We get: -10 < 2x ≤ 12

Now, let's get rid of the 2 that gets multiplied to x.

do that by dividing all sides by 2.

-10 : 2 < 2x : 2 ≤ 12 : 2

We get: -5 < x ≤ 6

X = {-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6}

Hope I helped!
