If 8-2x<12 is -2 a solution to the inequality

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's plug in -2 for x.

8 - 2 (-2) <12

8 + 4 < 12

12 < 12

Since this is a false statement, -2 is not a solution to the inequality.

No

Step-by-step explanation: To determine whether x = -2 is a solution to the inequality, substitute a -2 in for r.

So we have 8 - 2(-2) < 12.

Notice that I used parentheses.

This is a great habit to get into when

substituting numbers in for variables.

So we have 8 - (-4) which can be changed to 8 + (+4) or +12.

Since 12 is not less than 12, -2 is not a solution.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
