Question

Determine whether the inequality is always, sometimes, or never true. 4x - 8 > 1 + 4(x+3)

Answer 1

never

Explanation:

just took the test

Answer 2

Never true

Explanation:

Given inequality,

`4x - 8 > 1 + 4(x+3)`

`4x-8 > 1 + 4x + 12`

`4x-8 > 4x + 13`

`-8 > 13` ( false )

Since, when after solving an equation or inequality we get a true statement then the equation or inequality has infinitely many solution or true for all numbers while if we get a false statement then the equation of inequality has no solution or not true.

Hence, the given inequality is never true.
