Answer:


\boxed {k > -2}

Explanation:

Solve the following inequality:


6 > -2k + 2

-Switch the equation:


6 > -2k + 2


-2k + 2 < 6

-Subtract
2 on both sides:


-2k + 2 - 2 < 6 - 2


-2k < 4

-When you are dividing a integer by a negative integer, the inequality sign would change. So, you divide both sides by
-2:


(-2k)/(-2) < (4)/(-2)


\boxed {k > -2}

Answer:

k > -2

Explanation:

Step 1: Write inequality

6 > -2k + 2

Step 2: Solve for k

  1. Subtract 2 on both sides: 4 > -2k
  2. Divide both sides by -2: -2 < k
  3. Rewrite: k > -2

Here we see that any number greater than -2 will work. So numbers like 4, 9, 1249, or even 1957893402678 would work.
