What is the solution to -2(8x - 4) < 2x + 5?
O x>
O x<
X>6
x < 6

1/6 <x

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(8x - 4) < 2x + 5

Distribute

-16x +8 < 2x+5

Add 16x to each side

-16x+16x +8 < 2x+16x+5

8 < 18x +5

Subtract 5 from each side

8-5 <18x

3 <18x

Divide by 18

3/18 <x

1/6 <x

-2(8x - 4) < 2x + 5

Expand the brackets.

-16x +8 < 2x + 5

Add -2x and -8 on both sides.

-16x -2x<5-8

-18x<-3

Multiply both sides with -1 (reverse the inequalty).

18x>3

Divide 18 into both sides.

18x/18>3/18

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.

d is ur answer hopes this i dont really know how to explain it to u.
