Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>If P is the midpoint of XY, then XP = PY:</u>

8x - 2 = 12x - 30
12x -8x = 30 -2
4x = 28
x= 28/4
x= 7

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −6x − 10 > 14 + 2x

german

1. Add 6x to both sides
-10 > 14 + 2x + 6x
2. Simplify 14 + 2x + 6x to 14 + 8x
-10 > 14 + 8x
3. Subtract 14 from both sides
-10 - 14 > 8x
4. Simplify -10 - 14 to -24
-24 > 8x
5. Divide both sides by 8
- 24/8 > x
6. Simplify 24/8 to 3
-3 > x
7. Switch sides
x < -3
