Question

16 (1/4x - 1/2) > 24 - 2x

Answer 1

`x > 5.3333.... \\x > 5 (1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given:

`16((1)/(4) x-(1)/(2) ) > 24-2x`

and (assuming) we are solving for x, first distribute the 16 among numbers in parenthesis:

`4x-8 > 24-2x`

add 2x to both sides

`6x - 8 > 24`

add 8 to both sides

`6x > 32`

divide both sides by 6

`x > 5.3333.... \\x > 5 (1)/(3)`

Hope this helps! :)
