Question

What value of x is in the solution set of -2(3x + 2) > -8x + 6?

-6

-5

5

6

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

Given

- 2(3x + 2) > - 8x + 6 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 6x - 4 > - 8x + 6 ( add 8x to both sides )

2x - 4 > 6 ( add 4 to both sides )

2x > 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x > 5

The only value on the list greater than 5 is 6

Then 6 is in the solution set

Answer 2

hello as I think the answer is X= 6
