Question

Solve 10x + 16 _> 6x +20

A. X _> 9
B. X _> 1
C. X _< 1
D. X _< 9

Answer 1

x ≥ 1 (answer B)

Explanation:

Your 10x + 16 _> 6x +20 becomes 10x + 16 ≥ 6x +20. Combining the x terms results in 4x + 16 ≥ 20. Lastly, we subtract 16 from both sides to obtain

4x ≥ 4, or x ≥ 1 (answer B)

Answer 2

B. x ≥ 1

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 6x from both sides

4x + 16 ≥ 20

Step 2: Subtract 16 from both sides

4x ≥ 4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4

x ≥ 1

And we have our answer!
