Question

Solve for x
8x - 4 > 15

Answer 1

x = 19/8

Explanation:

Just bring the 4 to the other side, adding instead of subtracting to cancel it on the left, then divide both sides by 8.

Answer 2

x > 19/8

Explanation:

8x−4>15

Add 4 to both sides.

8x>15+4

Add 15 and 4 to get 19.

8x>19

Divide both sides by 8. Since 8 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

x > 19/8
