Question

Help me answer this!

1. This inequality will require you to flip the sign- 4X + -3X + -2 > -10
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

B) False

Explanation:

⇒ 4x - 3x - 2 > -10 [remove the unnecessary plus signs]

⇒ x - 2 > -10 [collect like terms of x]

⇒ x > -8 [+2 to both sides]

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

- 4x + - 3x + - 2 > - 10 ( adding a negative is equivalent to subtraction ), so

- 4x - 3x - 2 > - 10 ( add 2 to both sides )

- 7x > - 8

To solve divide both sides by - 7, reversing the sign as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x <
`(8)/(7)`
