What is the solution to
–2(8x – 4) < 2x + 5?
a. x > 1/6
b. x < 1/6
c. x > 6
d. x < 6

Polynomials must be simplified as often as viable. That means you must add together any like terms.
These are to remember when like terms in common.
i. The same variable(s)ii. The variables have the same exponents

 The answer is letter A.

SOLUTION:

-2(8x-4) <   2x+5          ,     simplify the left side.

-16x + 8 < 2x +5,

-16x + 8 < 2x +5   l   +16x      add 16x to both sides.

8 < 2x + 16x + 5          ,     adding the like terms.

8 < 18x + 5,

8 < 18x + 5   l   -5        subtract 5 to both sides.

8 – 5 < 18x,

3 < 18 x     l   : 18         divide both sides by 18,

3 / 18   <   x                ,        reduce to lowest term.

1 / 6   <   x

or

X > 1 / 6
