distribute
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
I solved them separately
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and then wrote the answer out showing both in one....
OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(x-6) < 4
so multiply 2 to both x and -6
you get 2x-12 < 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have to solve for x on both equations
OpenStudy (anonymous):
get x alone so add 12 to each side
2x < 16
and then divide each side by 2
you get x < 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the second equation
so \[16+x \ge 20\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
subtract 16 from each side
\[x \ge 4\]

so what would 7x+14-4<4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[4 \le x < 8\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can u do the one on top
OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get that from? is it a completely separate problem?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is a differnt problem but im haveing troblue with it too and ur good at them so i thought you could help
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7x+14-4<4 becomes
7x+10< 4 then
subtract 10 from each side, you get
7x< -6
divide each side by 7
x< -6/7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how would u graph this
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oy! ok dashed line at (-6/7,0) and shade down (or under it)
does that sound right
