Answer:

x < 13

Explanation:

We start with the given inequality:

x - 4 < 9

Now the first thing to realize is that we can add the same number to both sides of the inequality and it remains unchanged.

we add 4 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the x on the left side of the inequality.

x - 4 + 4 < 9 + 4

x < 13

Answer:
\textsf{x} < \textsf{13}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:
\textsf{x - 4} < \textsf{9}

Find:
\textsf{The simplified inequality}

Solution: In order to simplify the inequality we can simply add 4 to both sides which would isolate x.

Add 4 to both sides


  • \textsf{x - 4 + 4} < \textsf{9 + 4}

  • \textsf{x} < \textsf{9 + 4}

  • \textsf{x} < \textsf{13}

Therefore, an inequality that would be equivalent to the one that was provided in the problem statement is x < 13.
