Question

Show me how to solve 10>x/2 +4

Answer 1

I think it would be

`x < 12`

Answer 2

Treat this as if the inequality sign was the same thing as an equal sign. Most of the equality rules apply to inequalities (with a few exceptions)

`10>(x)/(2)+4`

Subtract both sides by 4

`10-4>(x)/(2)+4-4`

`6>(x)/(2)`

Multiply both sides by 2

`2*6>(x)/(2)*2`

`12>x`

We want the unknown variable on the left side (because it looks nicer)

`x<12`
