Question

15x + 60 < 240

h e l p

Answer 1

`\boxed{x<12}`

Solution Steps:

______________________________

1.) Subtract 60 from both sides:

• 
  `60-60=` Cancels Out.

• 
  `240-60=180`.

- We subtract on both sides to get rid of the extra numbers, so at the end of the equation we'll be able to get x alone. To do so you have to do the opposite of what you see.

Equation at the end of Step 1:

• 
  `15x` <
  `180`

2.) Divide both sides by 15:

• 
  `180` ÷
  `15=12`

• 
  `15x` ÷
  `15=x`

- Since 15 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

Equation at the end of Step 2:

• 
  `x` <
  `12`
