Question

What is the solution to the inequality below 14-2(x+1)< -4

Answer 1

x > 8

Explanation:

14 - 2(x + 1) < - 4 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

14 - 2x - 2 < - 4

12 - 2x < - 4 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- 2x < - 16

divide both sides by - 2 , reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x > 8
