So I think you need to get x on one side of the equation by itself. You start by adding 4 to both sides.

-2x - 4 > 8

+4 +4

-2x > 12

Now we divide both sides by -2 because of that's the coefficient in front of x

-2x/-2 > 12/-2

Now we have our answer: x > -6

Is the ordered pair (-2, 1) a solution to the equation - 3x + y = 5? <br>No <br>Yes

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug (-2,1) into -3x+y=5. This will make it -3(-2)+(1)=5. This is equal to 6+1=5. 7=5. 7 is not equal to 5. Therefore, (-2,1) is not a solution to the equation -3x+y=5.

$\bf \cfrac{n^2+3n+2}{n^2+6n+8}-\cfrac{2n}{n+4}\implies \cfrac{n^2+3n+21}{(n+4)(n+2)}-\cfrac{2n}{n+4}
\\\\\\
\textit{so our LCD will just be (n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~(n+2)(2n)}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~(2n^2+4n)}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~2n^2-4n}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\implies 
\cfrac{-n^2-n+2}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-(n^2+n-2)}{(n+4)(n+2)}\implies \cfrac{-\underline{(n+2)}(n-1)}{(n+4)\underline{(n+2)}}\implies \cfrac{-(n-1)}{n+4}\implies \cfrac{1+n}{n+4}$
