Inequalities

Given inequality :


\dag\quad\pmb{15 + x < -45}

To isolate x, subtract 15 from both sides:


\dag\quad\pmb{x < -45-15}


\dag\quad\pmb{x < -60}

Therefore, according to our calculations, x < -60. Let's take a moment now to check our answer by plugging it into the inequality.

15 + (-60) < -45

15 - 60 < -45

-45 < -45

since LHS = RHS, our answer is correct.
