Step 2 of 3: Solve the second inequality and express your answer in interval notation. Use decimal form for numerical values.
Transcript text: Consider the following inequality problem.
\[
\frac{2 z+4}{2}>6 \quad \text { and } \quad-2(z-2)>16
\]
Step 2 of 3 : Solve the second inequality and express your answer in interval notation. Use decimal form for numerical values.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Solve the second inequality
The second inequality is:
\[
-2(z-2) > 16
\]
Step 2: Distribute the \(-2\) on the left side
\[
-2z + 4 > 16
\]
Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides
\[
-2z > 12
\]
Step 4: Divide both sides by \(-2\) (remember to reverse the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number)
\[
z < -6
\]
Step 5: Express the solution in interval notation
The solution in interval notation is:
\[
(-\infty, -6)
\]
