Question

Four more than twice a number is greater than negative eighteen. Solve the inequality for the unknown number.

(A) x > 11
(B) x < 11
(C) x > -11
(D) x < -11"

Answer 1

The inequality states that 'four more than twice a number is greater than negative eighteen', leading to the solution that the number x must be greater than negative eleven.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves solving an inequality.The inequality can be written as 2x + 4 > -18. To solve for the unknown number x, follow these steps:

1. Subtract 4 from both sides of the inequality: 2x > -22.
2. Divide both sides by 2: x > -11.

The solution to the inequality is x > -11, which means that the number x is greater than negative eleven. So, the correct answer to the student's question is (C) x > -11.
