8 more than twice a number is greater than negative 18. Solve the inequality for the unknown number.

x > -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 > -18

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 > -18-8

2x> -26

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 > -26/2

x > -13

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
