Answer 1

Hi I think for this you just set it up so you solve for x as you normally do by moving one side over to the other side, setting it equal to zero and then solving for x. have you tried that?

Answer 2

yes but i always get a different answer thats not even in the choices

Answer 3

what did you get for part 1?

Answer 4

i got x<12
