Solve this inequality for x: -46 -8x >22.

Step-by-step explanation:

-46 - 8x > 22: Original problem

-46 - 8x + 46 > 22 + 46: Bringing all the constants to one side of the inequality

-8x > 68: Simplification

x < 68/-8 : You have to flip the inequality symbol because you are dividing by                                

                  a negative number..

x< -8.5 : The answer

Checking your answer

-46 - 8x > 22 : Original problem

-46 - 8(-8.5) > 22 : Substitution

-46 + 68 > 22 : Simplification

22 > 22 : Answer check successful!!!

(22 is not greater than 22 but we know that the answer cannot be -8.5 because the inequality states that x is less -8.5. This process was only for the purpose of checking not for the purpose of proving)

Hope this helps

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
