Question

Solve the inequality and enter your solution as an inequality comparing the variable to a number.

x-21 < 31

Answer 1

To solve the inequality x - 21 < 31, we add 21 to both sides, resulting in x < 52, which means x can be any number less than 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality x - 21 < 31, we need to isolate the variable x. We do this by adding 21 to both sides of the inequality:

• x - 21 + 21 < 31 + 21
• x < 52

This final inequality x < 52 tells us that x can be any number less than 52.
