Question

Solve for x: −2x − 4 > 8 x −6 x −2

Answer 1

You solve for x and the answer is -1/2

Answer 2

-1/2 > x

Explanation:

−2x − 4 > 8 x −6 x −2

Combine like terms

-2x -4 > 2x -2

Add 2x to each side

−2x+2x − 4 > 2x+2x −2

-4 > 4x-2

Add 2 to each side

-4 +2 > 4x -2 +2

-2 >4x

Divide each side by 4

-2/4 > 4x/4

-1/2 > x
