Question

Solve the following inequality. 36> -2(x+4)+14

Answer 1

x > - 15

Explanation:

Given

36 > - 2(x + 4) + 14 ← distribute and simplify right side

36 > - 2x - 8 + 14

36 > - 2x + 6 ( add 2x to both sides )

2x + 36 > 6 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

2x > - 30 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x > - 15
