what do you think we have to do first to get x by itself on one side?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
plus 11 each side
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yea, that could work :) personally, i would subtract 5, but let's add 11
OpenStudy (aripotta):
what do you get after adding 11 to both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you woul dhave 4x+16<2x damnit i picked a harder way and do -4 each side youd get -2 then divide 16 by -2 and get 8 i think
