Question

Solve the inequality 4x + 5 < 2x − 11

x > 8

x > −8

x < 8

x < −8
I need help with the explaining of how this works too . . .

Answer 1

its basically the same as solving regular equations with an equals sign in the middle instead of an inequality

Answer 2

4x+5 < 2x -11
add 11 to both sides

Answer 3

4x+16 < 2x

Answer 4

subtract 4x from both sides to get x alone

Answer 5

16 < -2x

Answer 6

divide by -2 to get x alone and simplified to get -8 < x
