Question 1

Can someone help me solve the inequality-2x+4>8 with the steps? Thanks

Question 2

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\rm{-2x + 4 > 8}$

$\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 4 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\rm{-2x + 4 - 4 > 8 - 4}$

$\large\textsf{CANCEL puts 4 - 4 because that gives you 0}$

$\large\textsf{KEEP: 8 - 4 because that helps solve for the x-value}$

$\rm{8 - 4 = \boxed{\bf 4}}$

$\rm{NEW\ EQUATION: -2x > 4}$

$\large\textsf{DIVIDE -2 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{(-2)/(-2)>(4)/(-2)}$

$\mathsf{CANCEL\ out: (-2)/(-2)\ because\ that\ gives\ you\ 1}$

$\mathsf{KEEP: (4)/(-2) \ because \ it \ helps \you \ compare\ to \ the \ x-value }$

$\mathsf{(4)/(-2) = \boxed{\bf -2}}$

$\rm{\bold{x < -2 }}$

$\rm{It\ is \ an\ O PENED \ circle \ shaded \ to \ the \ left \ side \ of \ the \ number \ line}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: } \mathsf{\bf x < -2}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
