To figure out which is not equivalent to the others,, we must solve each option provided. x < -2 is already solved,, so there is no need to do any work that option.
The first step for solving x - 2 < 4 is to move the constant to the right side and then change its sign.
x < 4 + 2
Now add the numbers together to get your final answer.
x < 6
This means that we have one option that equals x < -2 and one option that equals x < 6.
Let's now solve 2x < -4 to see what that one equals. In order to solve this,, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 2.
x < -2
Now we can see that it looks like all of the expressions are equivalent except for x - 2 < 4. Before we can confirm this though,, let's solve for x - 2 < -4. The first step for solving this is to move the constant to the right side and change its sign.
x < -4 + 2
Now calculate the sum of these two numbers to get your final answer.
x < -2
This tells us that all of the options are equivalent except for x - 2 < 4,, or option B.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Answer:
I THINK a=3 b=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Add, -11.5x and move it over to 8.5x
Then, subtract them together and you get 20x + 51.86 = 51.76
And you move (subtract) 51. 86 over to 51.76, subtract that and you get 20x = -0.1
Divide, and your answer is -200
