Which is a correct first step in solving the inequality –4(2x – 1) > 5 – 3x? distribute –4 to get –8x + 4 > 5 – 3x. distribute –4 to get –8x – 1 > 5 – 3x. subtract 2x from both sides of the inequality. add 1 to both sides of the inequality.

 Option 1 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given –4(2x – 1) > 5 – 3x

We need to tell its first correct step which is distribute –4 to get –8x + 4 > 5 – 3x.

Therefore, option 1 is correct.

Rest all the options are incorrect Because after distributing -4 will not give -8x-1

Hence, incorrect.

We can not subtract 2x directly without distributing -4

Hence, incorrect.

A. Distribute –4 to get –8x + 4 > 5 – 3x.

3+x

step-by-step explanation:

-3(b-8)-5=9(b+2)+1

distribute

-3b+24-5=9b+18+1

add/ subtract

-3b+20=9b+19

20-19= 1

-3b+1=9b

9b+3b= 12b

1=12b

1 divided by 12 = 1/12

answer: 1/12 = b
