Solve the inequality –8 < x – 14.

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

Add 14 to both sides. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want to get x all by itself on one side of the inequality. On the right side, we have x -14. We can eliminate the 14 by adding it to both sides. Then we're done, although we could flip the whole inequality to get x on the left side, which is how it's usually written.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On the left side, you will get 6. But don't forget the rest of the inequality: 6<x OR x>6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x < 6 ?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Well. X is on the right side. So you would get: 6 < x OR x > 6 Does that make sense?
