Question

2 times the sum of a number and 4 is less than or equal to 4

Answer 1

x<2 is your answer my freind

Answer 2

The correct answer is x ≤ -2

Explanation:

To solve this equation we first have to put it into numerical terms rather than words.

2(x + 4) ≤ 4

Now we follow the order of operations to solve for x.

2(x + 4) ≤ 4 ----> divide by 2

x + 4 ≤ 2 -----> subtract 4

x ≤ -2
