Question

Which is the solution to the inequality?

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

First you have to make the variable stand by itself so you have to subtract.

5/6 - 1/4 = 7/12 so since the inequality symbol in the question is < then the answer would be:

x < 7/12

Checking our answer:

so x can be anything less than 7/12 so 1/4+1/12 < 5/6

so 1/4 + 1/12= 4/12 so then you see that 4/12 is less than 7/12

Answer 2

x<7/12

Explanation:

Subtract 1/4 from both sides and since we are not dividing, the '<' wouldn't change its direction

Hope this helps! :)
