Question

WHICH INEQUILITY IS EQUIVALENT TO X-4<9

Answer 1

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 2

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

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.
