Question

What is the final step in solving the inequality –2(5 – 4x) < 6x – 4? x < –3 x > –3 x < 3 x > 3

Answer 1

x > 3

Explanation:

Given the inequality :

-2(5 – 4x) < 6x – 4

Expand the equation in bracket :

-10 + 8x < 6x - 4

Collect like terms

-10 + 4 < 6x - 8x

-6 < - 2x

Divude both sides by - 2

-6 / - 2 < - 2x / - 2

3 < x

x > 3
