Question

Solve the inequality for x. –4x + 6 < 50 A) x > –11 B) x > –14 C) x < –11 D) x < –14

Answer 1

Answer:

x > -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Subtract 6 from both sides

-4x + 6 - 6 < 50 - 6

-4x < 44

Step 2:  Divide both sides by -4

-4x / -4 < 44 / -4

If you divide by a negative number, you flip the sign.

x > -11

Answer:  x > -11
