Pretend the equation was 2x - 4 > 8
The first step (of the two) would be to add 4 to the (-4) and to the other side of the equation (+4) to the 8, first. (You wouldn't use the number with variable in the first step) Then you would rewrite the equation: 2x > 12 (it's now 12 because you added the 4 to the 8). The second step is to divide 2x by 2x and do the same with 12. By dividing both sides with the coefficient, will help find "x". 12/2 is 6, therefore x > 6. (the last step would be to graph the expression if needed to)

Answer:
The answer is letter A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount that each company charges per hour on the pool is known, however the amount of hours they will be working is not, and is needed to distinguish which company is cheaper. Therefore, the number of hours is substitued by x and it is right next to the amount they charge for each hour. To find what each company charges, you must sum up what they charge and what they charge per hour, times the hours they will have to work on it( which is unknown and by x).
