Q:

HELPPP ASAPPPP PLEASEEEE!!!!!!!Which is a correct first step in solving the inequality -4(2x – 1) > 5-3x?CESDistribute -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.

Accepted Solution

Hello! Inequalities are super fun, so I'm glad to help out.First, we'll be following the laws of PEMDAS which are:ParenthesesExponentsMultiplicationDivision SubtractionAdditionSo first we do the parentheses. Even though we have parentheses, they are currently not solvable.Next, exponents! No exponents.Then multiplication! Now, when a number is really close to parentheses, it incidates that we should multiply! So we multiply -4 * (2x-1).First we multiply -4 to 2x getting -8x.Next we multiply -4 to -1. When you multiply two negatives you get a positive so we get plain 4.So that gives us -8x+4>5-3xThe other ones are incorrect for obvious reasons. DM me for an explanation using process of elimination.Hope you enjoy the rest of your inequalities.Isabel xx
