Question

How do you solve `4x-2>6x+8`?

Answer 1

`x<-5`

Explanation:

First, rearrange the inequality so that all of the `x`'s are on one side
`-2>6x-4x+8`
`-2>2x+8`

Then rearrange so that all of the numbers are on the other side
`-2-8>2x`
`-10>2x`

Now, divide both sides by to get x
`-10/2>(2x)/2`
`-5>x`

So, `x<-5` is the answer
