Question

What is the answer to j/4-8<4

Answer 1

To solve the above inequality we will try to isolate j by using the opposite operation of a number that we want to remove. So,

`(j)/(4)-8<4`

`(j)/(4) -8+8<4+8` Add 8 to each sides.

`(j)/(4)<12` By combining the like terms.

`(j)/(4)*4<12*4` Multiply each sides by 4 to isolate j.

j<48 By simplifying.

So, the answer is j<48.
