Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

A. $x>\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the inequality, $-2(8x-4)$

On simplifying, we get,

$-2(8x-4)$

i.e. $-16x+8$

i.e. $-18x$

i.e. $6x>1$

i.e. $x>\frac{1}{6}$

Thus, the solution of the inequality is $x>\frac{1}{6}$.

Hence, option A is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:Option 'A' is correct. i.e. $x>\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that

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

We need to solve for 'x':

So, it becomes,

$-2(8x -4) < 2x + 5\\\\-16x+85-8\\\\-18x>-3\\\\x>\frac{1}{6}$

Hence, Option 'A' is correct. i.e. $x>\frac{1}{6}$
