First, you must distribute 2(3x-1).
To do that, you will multiply 2•3x, and 2•-1 because you are taking the number outside of the parentheses and multiplying (distributing) it to all the numbers inside
After distributing, the left side of your inequality will be 6x-2
Now you have

To find the value of x, you must subtract an x value from both sides of the equation, as well as a constant from each side.
so you have

And that will make the equation

Now, divide the variable side, ***BUT, because you are dividing by a negative number in an inequality, the inequality will switch sides.
Then, the value of x is greater than or equal to 2
Answer: [ number 1 & 2are a rule of sequence ] 1: Write a rule for the sequence. 2,6,10,14 a; start with two and subtract four repeatedly b; start with four and add two repeatedly ** c; start with two and add four repeatedly d; start with two and add one , add two.
Step-by-step explanation:
A negative exponent just means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line, so you need to flip the base to the other side. For instance, "x^-2" just means "x2, but underneath, as in 1/x^2.
-4^-2 means the power -2 is only applied to 4 and not the negative sign. -4^-2 = -(4^-2), which is equal to -1/16.
Whereas, (-4)^-2 means the power -2 affects on both negative sign and 4. For example, (-4)^2 is equal to (-4 * -4) which is just 16. Moving on, with (-4)^-2 equals to 1/(-4*-4) = 1/16.
