4 answers
first you write the problem 2x is greater than 16.Them divide 16 by 2 leaving the x.then your answer will be,x is greater than 8
i love solving inequalities
what is 26+x less than 3x -6
2 x > 16
Divide both sides by 2
x > 8
26 + x < 3 x - 6
Subtract 3 x to both sides
26 + x - 3 x < 3x - 6 - 3x
26 - 2 x < - 6
Subtract 26 to both sides
26 - 2 x - 26 < - 6 - 26
- 2 x < - 32
Divide both sides by - 2
When you multiply or divide both sides by a negative, the direction of the inequality changes.
x > - 32 / - 2
x > 16
Divide both sides by 2
x > 8
26 + x < 3 x - 6
Subtract 3 x to both sides
26 + x - 3 x < 3x - 6 - 3x
26 - 2 x < - 6
Subtract 26 to both sides
26 - 2 x - 26 < - 6 - 26
- 2 x < - 32
Divide both sides by - 2
When you multiply or divide both sides by a negative, the direction of the inequality changes.
x > - 32 / - 2
x > 16
