solve and graph the following inequality. 4x + 2 > 10

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 2 from both sides

$4x+2 - 2>10 - 2$ $4x>8$

Step2: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4}>\frac{8}{4}$ $x > 2$

To graph, draw a number - line. Put an open circle at 2 (because $x$ is strictly greater than 2, not equal to 2) and shade the line to the right of 2.

Answer:

$x>2$
