<h3>Answer: addition property of inequality</h3>
================================================
Explanation:
These are the steps to focus on
step 3: -6x - 8 < -2
step 4: -6x < 6
The move from the third step to the fourth step has us adding 8 to both sides. Therefore, we use the addition property of inequality.
That property has four forms
- If
then
- If
then
- If
then
- If
then
It's similar to the idea of starting with a = b, then adding c to both sides to get a+c = b+c
We add the same thing to both sides to keep things balanced.
