Is the inequality sometimes,always,never,true -2(2x+9)>-4 x+9
4x + 18 > -4x + 9
8x > -9
x > -9/8
which of your answers matches this ?
On my screen the - was on one line and the 2(.... on the next, so I read it as shown
if your statement was
-2(2x+9) > -4x + 9
your x's would drop out and you have the situation when you posted as "Lucky".
Draw your conclusion.
To determine whether the inequality -2(2x+9) > -4x+9 is sometimes, always, or never true, we need to simplify the inequality and then analyze it.
Let's start by simplifying the inequality:
-2(2x+9) > -4x + 9
First, distribute the -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-4x - 18 > -4x + 9
Next, combine like terms by subtracting -4x from both sides:
-18 > 9
Now, we have the inequality -18 > 9, which is not true.
Since -18 is never greater than 9, the inequality -2(2x+9) > -4x + 9 is never true.
