Question

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

Answer 1

`x< -1/2`

Explanation:

`"distribute bracket on left side"`

`-2x-8>6x-4`

`"subtract "6x" from both sides"`

`-2x-6x-8> -4`

`-8x-8> -4`

`"add 8 to both sides"`

`-8x>4`

`"divide both sides by "-8`

`x< -1/2`

`x in(-oo,-1/2)larrcolor(blue)"in interval notation"`
