Question

Solve the inequality
8+3x<20

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{8 + 3x < 20}`

`\mathsf{3x + 8 < 20}`

`\text{Subtract by 8 to both sides}`

`\mathsf{3x + 8 - 8 < 20 - 8}}`

`\text{Simplify it}`

`\mathsf{3x < 20 - 8}`

`\mathsf{3x < 12}`

`\text{Divide 3 to both sides}`

`\mathsf{(3x)/(3) < (12)/(3)}`

`\text{Simplify it}`

`\mathsf{x < (12)/(3)}`

`\mathsf{x < 4}`

`\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{x < 4}}}\huge\checkmark`
