What value of x is in the solution set of - 2 (3x 2) > - 8x 6? - 6 - 5 5 6

In solving inequalities, it is best to be observant of the signs. As these negative or positive signs will determine whether or not we will have to switch the inequality signs.

-2 (3x + 2) > - 8x + 6

-6x - 4 > - 8x + 6

Transfer and combine like terms.

-6x + 8x > 6 + 4

2x > 10

x > 5

The final answer is 5. Using this solution, we didn't have to switch the inequality sign because we avoided the negative signs.

The answer is 6 I took the test.
