Question

Solve 10x + 16 _> 6x +20 A. X _> 9 B. X _> 1 C. X _< 1 D. X _< 9

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≥ 1 (answer B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your 10x + 16 _> 6x +20 becomes 10x + 16 ≥ 6x +20.  Combining the x terms results in 4x + 16 ≥  20.  Lastly, we subtract 16 from both sides to obtain

4x ≥ 4, or x ≥ 1 (answer B)

Answer 2

Answer:

B. x ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 6x from both sides

4x + 16 ≥ 20

Step 2: Subtract 16 from both sides

4x ≥ 4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4

x ≥ 1

And we have our answer!
