Question

4X + 8 < 1 + ( 2X - 5) PLEASE EXPLAIN

Answer 1

x < - 6

Explanation:

Given

4x + 8 < 1 +(2x - 5) ← remove parenthesis

4x + 8 < 1 + 2x - 5, that is

4x + 8 < 2x - 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x + 8 < - 4 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

2x < - 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x < - 6
