Question

You should multiply by 4 before adding 16 to solve the inequality 11 > a/4 - 16.

true or false

Answer 1

11 >
`(a)/(4)` - 16

False, you should add 16 first to make the equation easier. If you multiplied by 4, you would have to multiply everything by 4, whereas by adding 16 first you only have to solve 27 · 4 to get a.
