Question

Solve the inequality: -2x + 12 < 18

Answer 1

x > -3

Explanation:

Subtract 12 from both sides

-2x+12<18

-2x+12-12 > 18-12

Simplify

-2x<18-12

-2x < 6

Divide both sides by the same factor, and flip the relation because the factor is negative

-2x<6

-2x/-2 > 6/-2

Simplify.

x> 6/-2 = x.>-3

Answer 2

Answer: X>-3

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+12-12<18-12

-2x<6

-2x/-2 > 6/-2

x>-3
