6x -15 < 4x + 11 a. x < 13 b. x > 13 c. x > -2 d. x < 2

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First, subtract 4x from both sides. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x-15<11 ?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Exactly. Now add 15 to both sides. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x-30<26 ?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No. Notice you have -15 (negative 15) on the left side. You need to add -15 + 15 on the left side. Your right side is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHH 2x<26

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Great. Now you got it. Now all you need to do is divide both sides by 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1x<13 ?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes. Since 1x is the same as x, your answer is x < 13
