Question: 138

3.

  • A. The quantity in Column A is greater.
  • B. The quantity in Column B is greater.
  • C. The two quantities are equal.
  • D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The answer is B

Distribute the 2 on the left and the 6 on the right: 2x + 4 ≤ 6x + 6 - 8. Combine the 6 and -8 on the right: 2x + 4 ≤ 6x - 2. Subtract 2x from both sides and add 2 to both sides: 6 ≤ 4x. Divide both sides by 4: x, which means x.
