Step one rewrite: -46-8x>22

Add 46 to both sides: -8x>68

Divide both sides by -8 to isolate x<-8.5

(remember to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by negative numbers in inequality problems)

So the correct answer is B. x < -8.5

Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.

Tom [10]

Answer: The statements in options 2 and 4 are true.

Explanation:

The LCM of two numbers is the smallest number that is multiple of both numbers.

The factor of 8 and 12 are,

$8=2\times 2\times 2$

$12=2\times 2\times 3$

Since 2 and 2 are common in both but 2 and 3 are not same, therefore the L.C.M. of 8 and 12 is,

$L.C.M.(8,12)=2\times 2\times 2\times 3=24$

Therefore the statement in option 1 is incorrect.

The factor of 6 and 9 are,

$6=2\times 3$

$9=3\times 3$

Since 3 is common in both but 2 and 3 are not same, therefore the L.C.M. of 6 and 9 is,

$L.C.M.(6,9)=2\times 3\times 3=18$

Therefore the statement in option 2 is correct.

The factor of 11 and 4 are,

$11=1\times 11$

$4=2\times 2$

Since all factor are different, therefore the L.C.M. of 11 and 4 is,

$L.C.M.(11,4)=1\times 11\times 2\times 2=44$

Therefore the statement in option 3 is incorrect.

The factor of 9 and 10 are,

$9=1\times 9$

$10=2\times 5$

Since all factor are different, therefore the L.C.M. of 9 and 10 is,

$L.C.M.(9,10)=1\times 9\times 2\times 5=90$

Therefore the statement in option 4 is correct.
