Responses

The value of 1/2(10x + 6) is always less than the value of -(3x+10)+8(x+1)

The value of 1/2 (10x + 6) is always less than the value of -(3x+10)+8(x+1)

The value of 1/2 (10x + 6) is always greater than the value of -(3x+10)+8(x+1)

The value of 1/2 (10x + 6) is always greater than the value of -(3x+10)+8(x+1)

The value of 1/2 (10x + 6) may be less than or greater than the value of -(3x+10)+8(x+1) depending on which number you choose for x.

The value of 1/2 (10x + 6) may be less than or greater than the value of -(3x+10)+8(x+1)

The value of 1/2 (10x + 6) is always equal to the value of -(3x+10)+8(x+1)

Answer 1

The correct response is:

The value of 1/2 (10x + 6) may be less than or greater than the value of -(3x+10)+8(x+1) depending on which number you choose for x.
