Question

Which is a correct first step in solving the inequality-4(2x - 1) > 5 - 3x?

Answer 1

The answer is distribute -4 to get -8x+4>5-3x

Answer 2

Answer:

Distributing -4 inside the parenthesis is the first step

Step-by-step explanation:

find a correct first step in solving the inequality

$-4(2x - 1) > 5 - 3x$

To solve the given inequality we need to isolate x

To isolate x we start with removing the parenthesis

we distribute -4 inside the parenthesis

$-4*2x +(-4)(- 1) > 5 - 3x$

$-8x +4 > 5 - 3x$

Distributing -4 inside the parenthesis is the first step
