Question

-8x + 2x – 16 < -5x + 7x

Answer 1

Answer:

x >  2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 8x + 2x - 16 < - 5x + 7x ← simplify both sides

- 6x - 16 < 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 8x - 16 < 0 ( add 16 to both sides )

- 8x < - 16 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

Remembering to reverse the symbol as a consequence of dividing by a negative value.

x > 2
