Solve:
- Add 4: $-6 \leq 2x < 2$
- Divide by 2: $-3 \leq x < 1$
✔ Solution: B: $-3 \leq x < 1$
Number line: 1
---
Solve each:
- $2x - 4 \geq 2$: $2x \geq 6$, so $x \geq 3$
- $-4x + 6 > 2$: $-4x > -4$, divide by -4 → reverse inequality: $x < 1$
So: $x < 1$ or $x \geq 3$
✔ Solution: G: $x < 1$ or $x \geq 3$
Number line: 16
