Solve the inequality -4s + 12 < 60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4s+12<60 Since 12 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by subtracting 12 from both sides. -4s<-12+60 Add 60 to -12 to get 48. -4s<48 Divide each term in the inequality by -4. When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign. -(4s)/(-4)>(48)/(-4) Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common factors. s>(48)/(-4) Simplify the right-hand side of the inequality by simplifying each term. s>-12

subtract 12 from both sides -4s<48 divide by negative 4 s>12. when you divide my a negative it flips
