Question

Which of the following is the solution set of -2[×]<-8?

a) x | x > 4
b) x | x < 4
c) x | x > -4
d) x | x < -4

Answer 1

The solution set of -2[×] < -8 is x | x > 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution set of -2[×] < -8 can be found by solving the inequality.

We start by dividing both sides of the inequality by -2. Remember that when dividing or multiplying an inequality by a negative number, we must flip the inequality sign.

So, the inequality becomes x > 4, which means the solution set is x | x > 4.
