Question

What is the solution to -2(8x-4) < 2x + 5?

Answer 1

Answer:

x>-1/6 x=(-1,6;+∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)-2(8x-4) < 2x + 5

2)-16x+8<2x+5 open the bracket

3)-16x+8-2x-5<0

4)-18x-3<0

5)-18x<3 devide them by "-3"

6)18x>-3

7)6x>-1

8)x>-1/6

Since we devided the inequation by a negative number, "<" became ">"
