Question

I need help with another problem @misty1212. Here is the inequality: 4x + 6 < -6

misty1212 · Answer

a) subtract 6
b) divide by 4

coolguy34 · Answer

so the answer is x < -12? @misty1212

misty1212 · Answer

no you skipped step b

misty1212 · Answer

$$4x+6<-6\
4x<-12$$ you still have to divide by 4

coolguy34 · Answer

oh yeah
so it's $$x<-3$$
?

misty1212 · Answer

yeah that one

All you have to do is get the x on one side of the inequality and the numbers on the other side. 
First, you subtract the 6 from the side with the x because we want the x on one side. That leaves you with:

4x < -12

There is only 4x left on the x side. We want to get rid of the 4 and have the 4 to itself, so we have to divide the 4x by 4 to get it alone:

4x < -12      
__       __    = x < -3

4         4      

The answer is x < -3 because the x is on one side of the equation and we simplified it as much as we can to get the answer.
