Question

Help me with inequality

Answer 1

Answer:

  C.  x > 3

Step-by-step explanation:

As long as you don't multiply or divide by any negative numbers*, you can solve this the same way you would an equation.

  3x +2 > x +8

  3x > x +6 . . . . . . subtract 2

  2x > 6 . . . . . . . . subtract x

  x > 3 . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2; matches choice C

_____

* The complete rule is "as long as you don't use any order-changing operations, ...". There are some functions you can apply to both sides of the inequality that will change the ordering. Multiplication or division by a negative number is only one of many.

  1 < 2

  -1 > -2 . . . . . multiplication by -1 reverses the order

Answer 2

Answer:

$x > 3$

Answer C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x + 2 > x + 8 \\ 3x - x > - 2 + 8 \\ 2x > 6 \\ \frac{2x}{2} > \frac{6}{2} \\ x > 3$
