Solve for x: -2x - 4> 8
X<-6
X> -6
0x<-2
X>-2

x < -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - 4 > 8

the first step is to add 4 to both sides since we need to get x alone on one side

-2x - 4 > 8

      +4  +4

so we are left with -2x > 12

we still need to get x alone so we have to divide -2 from both sides

always remember that if you divide by a negative number the inequality flips!! so instead of > it will be <.

-2x/-2 = x

12/-2 = -6

so the answer is x < -6

emily solved for a part when she should have solved for the whole. 875,000 should be the numerator of the equivalent ratio. 70 x 12,500 is 875,000. so the answer is 100 x 12,500 which is 1,250,000.
