Question

What is the solution to this inequality?

-4(d-2) <-12

d > 5
d < 5
d < 1
d > 1​

Answer 1

Answer: Choice A) d > 5

Work Shown:

`-4(d-2) < -12\\\\-4d+8 < -12\\\\-4d < -12-8\\\\-4d < -20\\\\d > -20/(-4)\\\\d > 5`

In the second to last step, the inequality sign flips because we divided both sides by a negative number.
