Question

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −6x − 10 > 14 + 2x. (1 point)

−6x − 10 > 14 + 2x


_______________

-8x>24

x 14

B.) -8x -10 >14

C.)−4x − 10 < 14

D.) −8x − 10 < 14

Answer 1

- 8x > 24

Explanation:

Given

- 6x - 10 > 14 + 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 8x - 10 > 14 ( add 14 to both sides )

- 8x > 24 ← required missing step

Divide both sides by - 8, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x < - 3 ← is the solution
