To solve the inequality -x/12 + 13 < 15, we can start by isolating the variable x.

First, subtract 13 from both sides of the inequality:

-x/12 < 15 - 13

Simplifying further:

-x/12 < 2

Next, multiply both sides of the inequality by -12. Since we are multiplying by a negative number, we need to reverse the inequality sign:

x > -24

Therefore, the solution to the inequality -x/12 + 13 < 15 is x > -24.

Inequalities

Given inequality:


\sf{-\cfrac{x}{12}+13 < 15}}

Subtract 13 from both sides:


\sf{-\cfrac{x}{12} < 2}

Multiply both sides by 12:


\sf{-x < 24}

Divide both sides by -1 & flip the sign:


\sf{x>-24}

Therefore, x > -24.
