Solve 8x + 4 > 52.

Question

A. x > 6
B. x > 2.5
C. x > 11
D. x > 7

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 8x + 4 > 52 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 4 from both sides of the inequality:
\[
8x + 4 - 4 > 52 - 4
\]
Simplifies to:
\[
8x > 48
\]

2. Divide both sides by 8:
\[
\frac{8x}{8} > \frac{48}{8}
\]
Simplifies to:
\[
x > 6
\]

So, the solution to the inequality \( 8x + 4 > 52 \) is \( x > 6 \). Thus, the correct answer is:

A. \( x > 6 \)
