BECE Mathematics 2026 Paper

Concept:Solve a linear inequality like an equation: collect the $x$ terms on one side and numbers on the other. The sign flips only when you multiply or divide by a negative number.Solution:$7 - 2x > 15 - 4x$Add $4x$ to both sides (so the $x$ term stays positive):$7 + 2x > 15$Subtract $7$ from both sides:$2x > 8$Divide both sides by $2$ (a positive number, so the sign stays $>$):$x > 4$Check with $x = 5$: left $= 7 - 10 = -3$, right $= 15 - 20 = -5$, and $-3 > -5$ ✓.Answer:Option D ($x > 4$)
