2x+6< 8 =

Answer: x<1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+6<8

Subtract 6 from both sides.

2x<8−6

Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.

2x<2

Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

x < 2/2

Divide 2 by 2 to get 1.

x<1

2x + 8 > 12 =

Answer: x>2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+8>12

Subtract 8 from both sides.

2x>12−8

Subtract 8 from 12 to get 4.

2x>4

Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

x> 2/4

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

x>2
