All are equivalent except x< -2, x-2< 4, 2x< -4, x-2< -4 ?

To figure out which is not equivalent to the others,, we must solve each option provided. x < -2 is already solved,, so there is no need to do any work that option.
The first step for solving x - 2 < 4 is to move the constant to the right side and then change its sign.
x < 4 + 2
Now add the numbers together to get your final answer.
x < 6
This means that we have one option that equals x < -2 and one option that equals x < 6.
Let's now solve 2x < -4 to see what that one equals. In order to solve this,, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 2.
x < -2
Now we can see that it looks like all of the expressions are equivalent except for x - 2 < 4. Before we can confirm this though,, let's solve for x - 2 < -4. The first step for solving this is to move the constant to the right side and change its sign.
x < -4 + 2
Now calculate the sum of these two numbers to get your final answer.
x < -2
This tells us that all of the options are equivalent except for x - 2 < 4,, or option B.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

1 the 1st term, 3 the 2nd term, 6 the 3rd term,etc.

note the following:

from the 1st term (1) to the 2nd term (3), we go up by 2,from the 2nd term (3) to the 3rd term (6), we go up by 3from the 3rd term (6) to the 4th term (10), we go up by 4, andfrom the 4th term (10) to the 5th term (15), we go up by 5.

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
