Question

Solve 16 x + 8 > 12x + 20

Answer 1

To solve inequalities we proceed as usual as when solving equations, we need to isolate the variable to one of the sides of the inequality.

`\begin{gathered} 16x+8>12x+20 \\ 16x-12x>20-8 \\ 4x>12 \\ x>(12)/(4) \\ x>3 \end{gathered}`

The solution of the inequality includes all number that are greater than 3.

`(3,\text{ }\infty)`
