Solve for x: −2x − 4 > 8 (2 points) Question 4 options: 1) x < −6 2) x > −6 3) x < −2 4) x > −2

Answer 1

Option 1: x<-6 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequalities are solved by isolating the variable on left side of the inequality.

Given

$-2x-4>8$

Adding 4 on both sides

$-2x-4+4>8+4\\-2x>12$

Dividing by 2 on both sides

$\frac{-2x}{2}>\frac{12}{2}\\-x>6$

The variable should not be negative.

Multiplying both sides by -1

$-x>6\\=> x$

Hence,

Option 1: x<-6 is the right answer
