(01.04 LC)
Solve for x: 2x - 2> 4x + 6.

Answer 1

x < - 4

Explanation:

2x - 2 > 4x + 6 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

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

- 2x > 8

divide both sides by - 2, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x < - 4

Answer 2

Explanation:

(2x - 2) - 2x > (4x + 6) - 2x

-2 > 2x + 6

(-2) - 6 > (2x + 6) - 6

-8 > 2x

-8/2 > (2x)/2

-4 > x
