Question

Given the inequality $|2x-2|>20$, what is a possible value of x ?

• A. - 8
• B. 11
• C. - 10

Answer 1

The correct option is C - 10

$|2x-2|>20$
This inequality could be written as
$2x-2>20$ or $(2x-2)<-20$
$2x>22$ $-2x<-18$
$x>11$ $x<-9$
A possible value of x would be -10. Since that is less than -9.
