Answer 1

c < 2

Explanation:

We have an inequality and are asked to solve for the variable "c."

4c + 2 < 10

To solve for c, we need to get it by itself, isolate it in every way possible.

4c + 2 < 10

Subtract 2 from both sides :

4c < 8

Now before we move on, take this into consideration, sometimes the inequality sign can be switched but under one condition. And that is when you divide both sides by a negative, since we are not dividing by a negative, no switch of the sign is needed.

Divide 4 from both sides to get c alone :

c < 2
