Question

2x - 4 < -8 or x + 2 > 5

Answer 1

The answer is x < -2 or x > 3

Explanation:

For 2x - 4 < -8

You first want to add 4 to each side to cancel it out.

2x < -4

Now divided by 2 on each side to cancel out the 2.

x < -2

So the answer is x < -2

For x + 2 > 5

You first want to subtract by 2 on both sides to cancel it out.

x > 3

So the answer is x > 3
