Question

What is the solution to 2x + 8 > 10 ?

x > 1


x > 2


x < 2


x < 1

Answer 1

2x + 8 > 10
You first move + 8 to the other side, so you subtract 8
(When you see addition, you perform subtraction)
2x + 8 - 8 > 10 - 8
+ 8 and - 8 cancels out
2x > 2
Now, to isolate x, you should divide both sides by 2
(When you see multiplication, you perform division)

`(2x)/(2)` >
`(2)/(2)`
2 and 2 cancels out and we are left with
x > 1
So your final answer will be x > 1
