Question

Solve the inequality 5(2x+8)<60

Answer 1

Answer:

x < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x + 8) < 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )

2x + 8 < 12 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

2x < 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x < 2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\bf\:x < 2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5(2x + 8) < 60$

Multiply 5 by 2x & 8 in the right hand side of the inequality .

$5(2x+8) < 60\\(5*2x) + (5*8) < 60\\10x + 40 < 60$

Bring 40 to the other side of the inequality .

$10x + 40 < 60\\10x < 60 - 40\\10x < 20$

Bring 10 to the left side of the inequality .

$10x < 20\\x < 20\div10\\\boxed{\bf\:x < 2}$
