Question

Eight more than twice a number is greater than negative sixteen

Answer 1

Answer:

2x + 8 > -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Any time you see twice a number, it means 2x because 2x indicates you are multiplying whatever the variable is by two (also known as doubling it). Whenever you see more than, it indicates addition, so now you know to add eight to that answer. Finally, place the greater than symbol and put -16 on the other side.

Answer 2

Answer:

2x+8 > -16

solution:

2x> -16-8

2x> -24

x > -24/2

x > -12
