Question

Solve the inequality X/3 - 2 < 4

Answer 1

`\frac{\text{x}}{3} - 2 < 4\\\\\frac{\text{x}}{3} - 2+2 < 4+2 \ \ \text{ .... add 2 to both sides}\\\\\frac{\text{x}}{3} < 6\\\\3*\frac{\text{x}}{3} < 3*6 \ \text{ .... multiply both sides by 3}\\\\\text{x} < 18\\\\`

Answer: x < 18

Answer 2

x < 18

Explanation:

We can solve for x in the inequality:

x/3 - 2 < 4

with the following steps:

↓ add 2 to both sides

x/3 < 6

↓ multiply both sides by 3

x < 18
