Question

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −x − 10 > 14 + 2x. (1 point) −x − 10 > 14 + 2x −3x −10 > 14

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality −x − 10 > 14 + 2x

This are the steps to solve the expression for x;

−x − 10 > 14 + 2x

Step 1: Add to to both sides

−x − 10+10 > 14 + 2x+10

-x > 24+2x

subtract 2x from both sides

-x-2x >24+2x-2x

-3x>24

Divide both sides by 3;

-3x/-3 < 24/-3

x < -8 (Note the change in inequality sign. It was changed because we divided through with a negative value)
