Question

Solve 2(1-x) > 2x
(A) x> 2
(B) x > 0.5
(C) x < 0.5
(D) x < 2

Answer 1

C: x<0.5

Explanation:

2(1-x) > 2x
= 2-2x>2x distributive property

= -2x-2x>-2 make x on one side

= -4x>-2 simplify

= x<-2/-4 isolate to solve for x

= x < 0.5 solve, since you are dividing by a negative you have to flip the sign around
