Question

solve the inequality ( 8x - 6 > 6(2x + 3) + 8x ). (fill in each blank with an integer or variable.) (square < square)

Explanation:

Step1: Expand right-hand side

$8x - 6 > 12x + 18 + 8x$

Step2: Combine like terms on RHS

$8x - 6 > 20x + 18$

Step3: Subtract $8x$ from both sides

$-6 > 12x + 18$

Step4: Subtract 18 from both sides

$-24 > 12x$

Step5: Divide by 12 on both sides

$-2 > x$

Answer:

$x < -2$
