Ox<
O x > 6
O x<6

Answer 1

Answer:

x> 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(8x – 4)< 2x + 5

Distribute

-16x +8 < 2x+5

Add 16x to each side

-16x +8+16x < 2x+16x+5

8 < 18x+5

Subtract 5 from each side

8-5 < 18x

3 < 18x

Divide each side by 18

3/18 < 18x/18

1/6 < x

Answer 2

Answer:

$x > \frac{1}{6}$

First answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 2(8 x - 4) < 2x + 5 \\ - 16x + 8 < 2x + 5 \\ - 16x - 2x < - 8 + 5 \\ - 18x < - 3 \\ \frac{ - 18x}{ - 18} < \frac{ - 3}{ - 18} \\ x > \frac{1}{6}$
