Question

(2.05) Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −x − 10 > 14 + 2x. (1 point) −x − 10 > 14 + 2x −3x −10 > 14 _______________ x < −8

Answer 1

-3x>24

Explanation:

Answer 2

-x-10>14+2x
Add x for both side
-x+x-10>14+2x+x
-10>14+3x
Subtract 14 for both side
-10-14>14+3x-14
-24>3x
Divided 3 for both side
-24/3>3x/3
-8>x
x<-8
Or
-x-10>14-2x
-3x-10>14
-3x>24
x<-8.
Um, we see that there is one step that are missing which is:
-3x>24. Hope it help!
