Question

Which is a correct first step in solving the inequality -4(2x - 1)> 5-3x?

Answer 1

Answer:-4(2x - 1) > 5 - 3x

solution:

-4(2x) -4(-1) > 5 - 3x    Distribute -4 to get -8x + 4 > 5 - 3x

-8x + 4 > 5 - 3x

+3x             + 3x

-5x + 4 > 5

      - 4     -4

-5x        > 1

÷ -5         ÷ -5

   x        < - 1/5

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(2x - 1) > 5 - 3x

The first step would be to expand the brackets.

-4( 2x ) - 4( -1 ) > 5 - 3x

Distribute the -4 to 2x and -1 to get:

-8x + 4 > 5 - 3x
