What is the missing step in solving the inequality 4(x – 3) + 4 = 10 +6x?

1. the distributive property: 4x - 12 + 4 < 10 + 6x

2. combine like terms: 4x -8 < 10 + 6x

3. the addition property of inequality: 4x < 18 + 6x

4. the subtraction property of inequality: -2x < 18

5. the division property of inequality

xs-9

ox-9

Divide both sides of the inequality by -2:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Division property of Inequality states that:

Therefore, given the inequality:

The missing step in solving it, applying the Division property of inequality, is divide both sides of the inequality by -2:

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.  

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
