The final inequality expression is : -2 < x < 18 and the final range is -2 and 18
From the expression given ;
To solve , subtract 4 from all sides to isolate 2x;
0 - 4 < 2x + 4 - 4 < 40 - 4
-4 < 2x < 36
divide through by 2x to isolate x
-4/2 < 2x/2 < 36/2
-2 < x < 18
Therefore, the final inequality expression is : -2 < x < 18 and the final range is -2 and 18
