Question

Solve the following inequality for x.

8x + 4 >44

A.
x > 6.00
B.
x < 6.00
C.
x > 5
D.
x < 5

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(8x + 4 > 44\), we can follow these steps:

1. Subtract 4 from both sides:
\[
8x + 4 - 4 > 44 - 4
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
8x > 40
\]

2. Divide both sides by 8:
\[
x > \frac{40}{8}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x > 5
\]

The solution to the inequality is \(x > 5\).

The correct answer is:
**C. x > 5**
