nb3fan, hi, are you sure the answer is -7/8?. well, I got a different answer... I got +7/16
Ok, here is what I did... the steps are:
Problem:
2 - 8(3x-1) =< 4 + 6x -2(4-x)
--------------------------------------------------
The Steps:
2 -24x + 8 =< 4 + 6x -8 + 2x
-24x + 10 =< -4 + 8x
-32x =< -14
x =< -14/-32
x =< 14/32
x =< 7/16
Order of operation for this problem is "distributive property for multiplying each term in the bracket" goes 1st, then + and - last
