Question

what is the solution to the inequality 4 times a is less than or equal to twelve?

Answer 1

To isolate a, you must "undo" the 4 times. So divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to get your answer.

Answer 2

I tried that and somehow I got15

Answer 3

hmmm what would you get if you were to solve the EQUALity of 4a = 12 ?

Answer 4

You have\[4a \le 12\]Divide both sides by 4, giving\[\frac{ 4a }{ 4 }\le \frac{ 12 }{ 4 }\]Can you finish it off?

Answer 5

yes
