Question

Which inequality represents all numbers x on a number line that are farther from −8 than from −4?

Answer 1

x - 8>-4-x

Explanation:

Looking at x - 8>-4-x

Collect the like terms;

x+x > -4 + 8

2x < 4

x > 4/2

x < 2

Since the values of x are greater than 2,this shows that they are positive values and will be farther from -8 than -4
