Question

Can you solve 17+4x<9

Answer 1

x<-2

Explanation:

17+4x<9

4x<-8

x<-2

Answer 2

The solution is:

↬ x < -2

Work/explanation:

Recall that the process for solving an inequality is the same as the process for solving an equation (a linear equation in one variable).

Make sure that all constants are on the right:

`\bf{4x < 9-17}`

`\bf{4x < -8}`

Divide each side by 4:

`\bf{x < -2}`

Hence, x < -2
