Question 426621: Could someone please show me how to do these problems step by step so I can learn?
1. solve then graph x+8>2 the graph is like this is a straight line
2. graph the equation and identify the y intercept x=1/2x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solution: 1) To solve the inequality x+8>2 add on both sides of inequality -8.
x+8-8>2-8 => x>-6. Thus, the solution set is {x real: x>-6}.
For example the solution set is {-5, -4, -3, 0, 3, 5, ...,}
2) First we simplify this equation, Assuming x different from zero, multiply both sides by 2x.
2x%2Ax=2x%2A%281%2F2x%29
2x%5E2-1=0
X-intercepts are:(+- sqrt(2)/2,0)
