Question

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −6x − 10 > 14 + 2x. −6x − 10 > 14 + 2x _______________ −8x > 24 x < −3

Answer 1

-6x - 10 > 14 + 2x

-2x              -2x  

-8x  - 10 >  14               THIS IS THE MISSING STEP

      +10    +10  

-8x       > 24

$\frac{-8x}{-8}$       $\frac{24}{-8}$

  x       < -3

Answer: x < -3
