Question 16
InequalitiesEvaluate 3(x + 2) > 6(x + 3)
- A.x < −4
- B.x > 4
- C.x < 4
- D.x > −4
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A (x < −4)
Explanation
3x + 6 > 6x + 18 gives −3x > 12, so x < −4 (the sign flips when dividing by −3).
Evaluate 3(x + 2) > 6(x + 3)
Answer: A (x < −4)
3x + 6 > 6x + 18 gives −3x > 12, so x < −4 (the sign flips when dividing by −3).
