Question

What is the solution to the inequality?

-4x-8>-20​

Answer 1

`Answer: \\ - 4x - 8 > - 20 \\ \Leftrightarrow - 4(x + 2) > - 20 \\ \Leftrightarrow x + 2 < 5 \\ \Leftrightarrow x < 3`

Answer 2

x < 3​

Explanation:

-4x-8>-20​

Add 8 to each side

-4x-8+8>-20+8

-4x > -12

Divide by -4. Remember dividing by a negative will flip the inequality

-4x/-4 < -12/-4

x < 3​
