Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 2(3x - 1) = 4x - 6?
EO
-10

Answer 1

x = - 1

Explanation:

Given

2(3x - 1) ≥ 4x - 6 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

6x - 2 ≥ 4x - 6 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x - 2 ≥ - 6 ( add 2 to both sides )

2x ≥ - 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x ≥ - 2

The only value in the list greater than - 2 is - 1

x = - 1 is in the solution set

Answer 2

D) -1

Explanation:

6x-2≥4x-6

6x-4x≥-6+2

2x≥-4

x≥-4÷2

x≥-2

Only -1 is greater than -2 in the list.
