Answer:
x > - 8 or x < 2
Explanation:
Given
- 8 < 2(x + 4) or - 3x + 4 > x - 4
Solve each part separately
- 8 < 2(x + 4) ← divide both sides by 2
- 4 < x + 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
- 8 < x , thus
x > - 8
OR
- 3x + 4 > x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )
- 4x + 4 > - 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
- 4x > - 8
Divide both sides by - 4, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity
x < 2
Solution is x > - 8 or x < 2
