Question

Explain the steps when solving this.
10 + h > 2 + 2h

Answer 1

you first subtract from both sides and get 10 > 2 + h then from both sides subtract 2 to get 8>h and written a standard way, the correct answer would be h<8 (so basically just flip 8>h)

Answer 2

Solve it like you would for an equation by isolating the variable h.

First subtract h from both sides.

10+h-h>2+2h-h
10>2+h

Then subtract 2 from both sides.

10-2>2-2+h
8>h

We can then flip 8>h to h<8 just because it's a more standard way of writing it.

Final answer: h<8
