Question

True or false when solving the inequality 10x + 22 less than 2 the second step should say 10x greater than -28 because I added -22 to both sides and I got a negative number on the right

Answer 1

False

Because the next step should say: 10x < -20

Why?

Look closely to the steps of the inequality and you will find that I am correct.

Our inequality is: 10x + 22 < 2

That means the next step will be subtracting 22 on both sides.

That will leave us with 10x < -20

Then we will ÷ 10 on both sides

And our answer will be x < -2
