What value of x is in the solution set of - 2 (3x + 2) > - 8x + 6?

-2 (3x + 2) > - 8x + 6

-6x - 4 > - 8x + 6

+ 4 + 4

-6x > - 8x + 10

+8x + 8x

2x > 10

: 2 : 2

x > 5

x is greater than 5, let us assume that x = 6.

-2 (3x+2) > - 8x + 6

-2 ((3*6) + 2) > - 8 (6) + 6

-2 (18+2) > - 48 + 6

-2 (20) > - 42

-40 > - 42 correct!
