Question

2 (x + 8) > 18 + x -4 need this really soon

Answer 1

`\text {Hey! To solve this problem you must...}`

`\text {Simplify the Equation:}`

`\text {Multiply (x+8) by 2.}`

`\text {x becomes 2x. 8 becomes 16}`

`2x+16>x+14 \text { will be your answer once you simplify it.}`

`\text {The Next Step is to Subtract x:}`

`\text {Q: Why Subtract x instead of adding x?}`

`\text {A: We need x to cancel out. So x-x will cancel out each other.}`

`\text {Note: In equations like these x-x is another way of saying 1-1.}`

`2x+16-x>x+14-x\\x+16>14 \text { would be your answer once you subtract x.}`

`\text {The Final Step is to Subtract 16.}`

`\text {Note: Subtracting 16 will cancel out 16-16 and just leave x by itself.}`
`\text {That's what we are working towards.}`

`x+16-16>14-16\\x>-2 \text { would be your final answer.}`

`\text {Best of Luck!}`

Answer 2

Hey there!

ANSWER:
`x>-2`

Step-by-step explanation:

`2(x+8)>18+x-4`

In our first step, we will need to simplify the inequality.

`2x+16>x+14`

Now we have to subtract x from both sides of the inequality.

`2x+16-x>x+14-x=x+16>14\\x+16>14`

In our last step, we will need to subtract 16 from both sides of the inequality.

`x+16-16>14-16=x>-2\\x>-2\text{(ANSWER)}`

Hope this helps!
