Since there are no multiples other than 1 and -1 that could multiply in any way to equal 1, those are the only numbers you can really work with
it is a possibility that a, b, and c could equal 1 but then it would go wrong when comes time to subtract since all numbers are equal and cannot subtract largest from smallest.
a logical approach would be to try -1, -1, and 1 since -1 * -1 = 1 and then 1* 1 =1
we can make a= -1 , b= -1, and c= 1
(we need b to equal -1 so that we get an answer of -1 opposed to if we made a=-1 and c=-1, all outcomes would equal 1)
-1²=1
-1³=-1
1⁴= 1
since 1 is the largest possible outcome and -1 is the lowest possible outcome you should subtract the two
1-(-1) = 1+1 = 2
The answer should be D: 2
hoped this helped at all!

Answer:
First you need to get your variable(x) by itself.
You do that by adding 16 to both sides of the greater than sign.
The 16 cancels or goes away. and 16 + 4 =20.
Your new equation is 20<4x
Finally you divide 20 by 4 to get 5
Your answer is 5<x or x>5.
