Question

Solve the inequality 4x + 1 > 13 and explain your steps. How would you check your solution to make sure it is correct?

mathmale · Answer

You'd solve this inequality for x in pretty much the same way in which you'd solve 4x + 1 > 13 for x.

Subtract 1 from both sides of the inequality, please.  Write out your result.

As MathMale said:

You'd solve this inequality for x in pretty much the same way in which you'd solve 

$$4x + 1 > 13 for x.$$

Now when we solve for x first we subtract 1 from both sides.

When you do this you should get:

$$4x > 12$$

Then you divide 4 from both sides

When you do this you should get:

$$x > 3$$

x>3  that means x is any number with the condition of being bigger than 3.
So 4,5,6, etc are solutions and don't forget all of the numbers in between 4 to 5 and so forth.
