Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 2(3x – 1) > 4x – 6?

It could only be the following :
A. -10
B. -5
C. -1
D. -3

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

Given the equation :

2(3x – 1) > 4x – 6

Open the bracket :

6x - 2 > 4x - 6

Collect like terms

6x - 4x > - 6 + 2

2x > - 4

Divide both sides by 2

2x /2 > - 4/2

x > - 2

Since x > - 2

-10, - 5, - 3 are all < - 2

Hence, the only option greater than - 2 is - 1
