Question

Jose solved the following problem:2x +4< 98x +4< 49x < 45What is Jose's mistake?

Answer 1

In the first step, Joe divided both sides of the inequality by 2, but forgot to divide the constant 4. The correct approach would be this:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)(2x+4<98) \\ \Rightarrow x+2<49 \end{gathered}`
