Question

Help please it would mean a lot to me because I just don’t understand it

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{A. a < 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Well given,

2a + 6 < 4(a - 2)

We need to simplify for a.

Distribute 4, 4(a - 2)

4*a = 4a

4*-2 = -8

2a + 6 < 4a - 8

-2a to both sides

6 < 2a - 8

+8 to both sides

14 < 2a

14 ÷ 2 = 7

Thus, a < 7.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

a > 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 4 on the right side. (Distributive Property)

Put the like terms together.

Combine like terms.

Divide on both sides (divide by the coefficient) and flip the inequality sign.

Your final answer should a > 7
