Question

Tell whether −2 is a solution of the inequality. 8−2x<12

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

no

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

8−2x<12

Subtract 2 from each side

8-8−2x<12-8

-2x <4

Divide each side by -2, remembering to flip the inequality

-2x/-2 >4/-2

x > -2

Is -2 a solution

-2 >-2

This is false, it is equal
