Answer:

B. x>4

Explanation:

2x + 2 > 10

In order to solve this inequality, we must isolate the variable, x , on one side of the inequality.

2 is being added to 2x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality.

2x+ (2-2) > 10-2

2x > 10-2

2x > 8

x is being multiplied by 2. The invers of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the inequality by 2.

2x/2 > 8/2

x > 8/2

x > 4

The solution to the inequality 2x+2 > 10 is x > 4 and the correct answer is B.
