Question

Solve 4(2x-4)>2(x+4)

Answer 1

Your answer would be x > 4

Explanation:

1. Open up the parenthesis and you will get 8x - 16 > 2x + 8

2. Combine like terms: 6x > 24

3. Divide by 6 on both sides, the answer you'll get is x > 4

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

4(2x - 4) > 2(x + 4)

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Distribute: 8x - 16 > 2x + 8
2. Subtract 2x on both sides: 6x - 16 > 8
3. Add 16 to both sides: 6x > 24
4. Divide 6 on both sides: x > 4

Here we see that any value x greater than 4 would work as a solution to the inequality.
