Question

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −x − 10 > 14 + 2x.

−x − 10 > 14 + 2x
−3x − 10 > 14
_____________
x < −8

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x - 10 > 14

-3x > 24 (add 10 to both sides)

x < -8 (divide by -3, flip inequality sign)

The missing step is -3x > 24.
