Question

which of the following is an equvilant form of the compound inequality -44> -2x -8 greater or equal to -8

Answer 1

-44>-2x-8

Add 8 on both sides

-36>-2x

Divide by -2 dice your x can't be negative

18<x

The sign flips when you divide by a negative. Therefore if the question is a true or false question, the answer would be false

Answer 2

Answer: 18 ≤ x < 0

Explanation:

-44 > -2x - 8 ≥ -8

-36 > -2x ≥ 0 added 8 to all three sides

18 < x ≤ 0 divided all three sides by -2 (which flips the inequality signs)
