simplfy ;2x is greater than 16

first you write the problem 2x is greater than 16.Them divide 16 by 2 leaving the x.then your answer will be,x is greater than 8

i love solving inequalities

what is 26+x less than 3x -6

2 x > 16

Divide both sides by 2

x > 8

26 + x < 3 x - 6

Subtract 3 x to both sides

26 + x - 3 x < 3x - 6 - 3x

26 - 2 x < - 6

Subtract 26 to both sides

26 - 2 x - 26 < - 6 - 26

- 2 x < - 32

Divide both sides by - 2

When you multiply or divide both sides by a negative, the direction of the inequality changes.

x > - 32 / - 2

x > 16

To simplify the inequality 2x > 16, you need to isolate the variable x.

Step 1: Divide both sides of the inequality by 2 to get x alone. This is necessary because the goal is to have x by itself on one side of the inequality symbol.

2x/2 > 16/2

Simplifying, you get:

x > 8

So the simplified version of the inequality is x > 8.
