Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 4x – 12 ≤ 16 + 8x?Which is a correct first step in solving the inequality –4(2x – 1) > 5 – 3x?

Distribute –4 to get –8x + 4 > 5 – 3x.
Distribute –4 to get –8x – 1 > 5 – 3x.
Subtract 2x from both sides of the inequality.
Add 1 to both sides of the inequality.

Answer 1

B:

Distribute –4 to get –8x – 1 > 5 – 3x.

Answer 2

Value of x is -1
The correct first step to solving the inequality is distributing the -4 into the para thesis
