Question

Solve for x what is -2x-4<10

Answer 1

x > - 7

Explanation:

given

- 2x - 4 < 10 ( add 4 to both sides )

- 2x < 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

Remembering to reverse the inequality symbol when dividing/multiplying by a negative quantity.

x > - 7 ← reverse the symbol

Answer 2

the answer is x is greater then -7

to find this add 4 to each side

then divide by -2.

since you divided both sides by a negative the symbol flips and you get x is greater then -7
