Question

What is the solution set for 4x > 8?

(x:x > 4)

(x:x > 8)

(x:x > 6)

(x:x > 2)

Answer 1

{x : x > 2}

Explanation:

Divide both sides of the inequality by 4. The coefficient of x is 4, so doing this will make the coefficient of x be 1. That is what you want in your expression for the solution set.

... (4x)/4 > 8/4 . . divide by 4

... x > 2 . . . . . . . simplify
