Question

-2x <4

X < -2
X < 2
X > -2
X > 2

Answer 1

C. x>-2

Explanation:

The solution is to isolate the term x from one side of the equation.

-2x<4

First, multiply by -1 from both sides.

(-2x)(-1)>(4)(-1)

Solve.

2x>-4

Then, divide by 2 from both sides.

2x/2>-4/2

Solve.

-4/2=-2

x>-2

Therefore, the correct answer is x>-2.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Simplify x in the inequality.

Divide both -2x and 4 by -2:

`(-2x)/(-2) < (4)/(-2)`

Answer:

`x > -2`

The sign has switched since the terms have been divided by a negative number.
