Answer: x < 9

Work Shown:

4x - 6 < 30

4x - 6 + 6 < 30 + 6

4x < 36

4x/4 < 36/4

x < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea is to undo everything happening to x. We follow PEMDAS in reverse. We undo subtraction first by adding 6 to both sides (step 2), then we undo multiplication by dividing both sides by 4 (step 4).
