To solve the inequality \( 6x - 8 > 4x + 26 \), follow these steps:
-
Subtract \( 4x \) from both sides:
\[ 6x - 4x - 8 > 26 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 2x - 8 > 26 \]
-
Next, add 8 to both sides:
\[ 2x > 26 + 8 \]
Which simplifies to:
\[ 2x > 34 \]
-
Now, divide both sides by 2:
\[ x > \frac{34}{2} \]
Simplifying gives:
\[ x > 17 \]
Thus, the solution to the inequality is \( x > 17 \).
The correct answer is d \( x > 17 \).
