Solve the inequality - 4s + 6 < 30

OpenStudy (igreen):

-4s + 6 < 30 Okay, you want to get the variable on one side, and the rest of the terms on the other. So what do you have to do first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont know

OpenStudy (igreen):

Okay, well you have to get rid of the 6. So what do you do to it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im reall bad at this so... um divide?

OpenStudy (igreen):

No, it's a positive 6, so you will subtract it to the other side and get: \(\ -4s < 30 - 6\) What's 30 - 6? @Future_UsArmy_MP

24

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct. So we end up with: \(\ -4s < 24\) Okay, do you know what we do now? Hint: The -4 is being multiplied with the variable 's'. So we have to do the opposite..

OpenStudy (igreen):

You would divide the -4 to both sides. Since you're dividing by a negative number, you will switch the sign. So we end up with: \(\ s > -6\)
