Question

What is 8 (x/4 - 6) < 4

Answer 1

x<26

Explanation:

8(x/4 - 6) < 4

Divide both sides by 8;

8(x/4 - 6)/8 < 4/8

Simplify;

x/4-6<1/2

Add 6 to both sides;

x/4-6+6<1/2+6

Simplify;

x/4-6+6<1/2+6

Simplify

x/4-6+6

=x/4

Simplify;

1/2+6

Convert it into a fraction;

6*2/2+1/2

Since the denominators are equal combine the fractions;

6*2+1/2

6*2+1=13

=13/2

x/4<13/2

Multiply both sides by 4;

4x/4<13*4/2

Simplify 4x/4

4x/4

4/4=1

=x

Simplify 13*4/2

Multiply the numbers:13*4=52

=52/2

Divide the numbers:52/2=26

=26

x<26
