Solve the following equation; 8x-2 > 4x +6

First of all we need to get all of the x's on one side and all the numbers on the other side. Therefore to do this firstly we should add 2 to both sides. 8x > 4x +8 Secondly we need to -4x from both sides 4x > 8 Finally we want to get a single value for x so we need to divide each side by 4 x > 2
