Question

3x+12<24
X<?
Solve for x

Answer 1

Our answer is x < 4.

`\Large\texttt{Explanation}`

We are asked to find the value of x in the following inequality:

3x + 12 < 24

Subtract 12 from both sides:

3x < 24 - 12

3x < 12

Divide both sides by 3:

x < 4

`\therefore` x < 4

Answer 2

x<4

Explanation:

First, you have to get rid of the 12. To do this, you subtract 12 from both sides.

3x + 12 -12 < 24 -12

After that, you should get

3x < 12

The last step is to get rid of the three, to do this you need to divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 < 12/3

Which should leave you with

x<4
