Question

Solve this linear equation
2(x+6)<3x+8

Answer 1

x > 4

Explanation:

Given

2(x + 6) < 3x + 8 ← distribute left side

2x + 12 < 3x + 8 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- x + 12 < 8 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- x < - 4

Multiply both sides by - 1, reversing the symbol as a result of multiplying by a negative quantity.

x > 4
