Question

Solve the inequality 5x < 16 + x.

x < 1/4
x > 1/4
x < 4
x > 4

Answer 1

5x < 16 + x
First you want to get the x's on one side, so we will subtract x from both sides
5x - x < 16 + x - x
Combine like terms
4x < 16
Now we will divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself
4x/4 < 16/4
x < 4 <--answer
