Well all you have to do is find the common denominator then use it to subtract
Answer: x > 6
Step-by-step explanation: -4(2x+2) < -40
-8x - 8 < -40
+8 +8
-8x < 48
/-8x /-8x
x > 6 *The less than sign got flipped to a greater than sign because we divided by a negative.
Have you never added 2-digit numbers?
35 +27 = (30 +20) +(5 +7) = 50 +12 = 62
35/100 +27/100 = (35 +27)/100 = 62/100
0.35 +0.27 = 0.62
The basic idea, taught in 3rd grade, is to line up the decimal points of the numbers, add enough zeros on the right to make the numbers all have the same number of digits to the right of the decimal point, then add in the usual way. The sum has the decimal point aligned with the rest of the numbers.
1.26 . 15 percent in a decimal would be .15 and then you would multiply .15 and 8.40 to get 1.26!
