Question

Which is a correct first step for solving the inequality -4(2x-1)>5-3x

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

The first step would be to distribute the parenthesis on the left side

- 4(2x - 1) > 5 - 3x, then

- 8x + 4 > 5 - 3x

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

The given Inequality is

⇒ -4 (2 x-1) ≥ 5 -3 x

We will use Distributive property of Multiplication with respect to Subtraction to evaluate the first step

⇒-4 × 2 x +(-4) × (-1) ≥ 5 - 3 x

⇒ -8 x +4 ≥ 5 - 3 x
