Question

Solve the following inequality -1 >-2(x - 4) - 5(4x - 7)

A.X> 2
B. x>-23
C. x<2
D. x > 8

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

−1>−2(x−4)−5(4x−7)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−1>−22x+43

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−22x+43<−1

Step 3: Subtract 43 from both sides.

−22x+43−43<−1−43

−22x<−44

Step 4: Divide both sides by -22.

−22x

−22

<

−44

−22

x>2
