Ox>
Ox<
O x > 6
O x<6

Answer 1

`x > (1)/(6)`

First answer is correct.

Explanation:

`- 2(8 x - 4) < 2x + 5 \\ - 16x + 8 < 2x + 5 \\ - 16x - 2x < - 8 + 5 \\ - 18x < - 3 \\ ( - 18x)/( - 18) < ( - 3)/( - 18) \\ x > (1)/(6)`

Answer 2

x> 1/6

Explanation:

-2(8x – 4)< 2x + 5

Distribute

-16x +8 < 2x+5

Add 16x to each side

-16x +8+16x < 2x+16x+5

8 < 18x+5

Subtract 5 from each side

8-5 < 18x

3 < 18x

Divide each side by 18

3/18 < 18x/18

1/6 < x
