Solve for x: 2x - 2 > 4x + 6

Mathematics
1 answer:
laiz [17]3 years ago
7 0

Isolate the x. Subtract 4x from both sides, and add 2 to both sides

2x (-4x) - 2 (+2) > 4x (-4x) + 6 (+2)

2x - 4x > 6 + 2

Simplify. Combine like terms

-2x > 8

Isolate the x. Divide -2 from both sides. Note that you are <em>dividing a negative number</em>. When doing so, flip the sign.

-2x/-2 > 8/-2

x > 8/-2

x < -4

x < -4, or (1) is your answer

hope this helps

AnnyKZ [126]
5% is 0.05 in decimals. To get 5% of M, multiply it. To convert a percentage into decimals, divide the number by 100. 20/100 is 0.2. 0.2 is the tip. Do the same as 0.05 and add in the actual cost of the meal (M). Check image
