Question

What is the Inequality for x for this question : 8(x+4)>-8

Answer 1

x>-5

Explanation:

8(x+4)>-8

Multiply the outside (8), with the inside (x+4)

8*x=8x, 8*4=32

8x+32>-8 ----> What it would look like now

Move the +32 to the other side and turn the signs, + will be -, vice versa

8x>-8-32 ----> = -40

8x>-40

Now, divide both sides by 8, 8x/8=x and -40/8=-5

Final Answer: x=-5

Hope this helps! ;)

Answer 2

Answer: x>-5

because when you distribute it would be 8x+32>-8. You then subtract 32 (8x>-40). And then you divide both sides by 8 to get x>-5
