Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the solution to the inequality 8 - 2x > 0?
Correct Answer: x < 4
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality: 8 - 2x > 0.
  • Step 2: To isolate the term with x, subtract 8 from both sides: 8 - 2x - 8 > 0 - 8.
  • Step 3: This simplifies to: -2x > -8.
  • Step 4: Now, divide both sides by -2. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign: -2x / -2 < -8 / -2.
  • Step 5: This simplifies to: x < 4.
