What is the solution to –2(8x – 4) < 2x + 5?

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

x > \frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2 (8x - 4) < 2x + 5 ← distribute left side

- 16x + 8 < 2x + 5 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 18x + 8 < 5 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- 18x < - 3

Divide both sides by - 18, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x > \frac{-3}{-18} , that is

x > \frac{1}{6}

Brianna solved a two-step equation, but she made a mistake along the way.
Makovka662 [10]

The appropriate choice is ...

... On Line 3, Brianna should have divided by 0.1 instead of subtracting 0.1.

_____

Had Brianna simplified her effort properly on line 4, she would have

... -0.1 +0.1x = -1.4

putting her essentially back where she started—with a 2-step equation.

What are the steps to this equation to -2x-4+5x=8
laila [671]

Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

−2x − 4 + 5x = 8

[ Simplify both sides of the equation ]

−2x − 4 + 5x = 8

−2x + −4 + 5x = 8

(−2x + 5x) + (−4) = 8 (Combine Like Terms)

3x + −4 = 8

3x − 4 = 8

[ Add 4 to both sides ]

3x − 4 + 4 = 8 + 4

3x = 12

[ Divide both sides by 3 ]

3x / 3 = 12 / 3

x = 4
