Question

The length of the base of a triangle, x - 8, is less than the height of the triangle, 12. Write an inequality to represent the problem. Use x for the variable

Answer 1

I disagree with a few of your answerer's answers. So here are mine.

b + 4 < -8 (subtract 4 from both sides)

b<-12

14+x<3 (subtract 14)

x<-11

N-5>3 (add 5)

N>8

x - 8 < -2

x < 6, in set notation >>>>{x| x < 6}

x+12>=25, which simplifies to:

x>=13

x-8<12, which becomes x<20

x+12+20<=80, which simplifies to:

x<=48
