Question

What is the solution to –2(8x – 4) < 2x + 5?

Answer 1

The solution will be x>1/6

Explanation:

Answer 2

Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−16x+8<2x+5

Subtract 2x from both sides.

−16x+8−2x<2x+5−2x

−18x+8<5

Subtract 8 from both sides.

−18x+8−8<5−8

−18x<−3

Divide both sides by -18.

−18x/−18 < −3/−18

x>16

Ans : x > 16
