Answer:

x < 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

Firstly, we should convert the question into a numerical function in order to visualize it better. Therefore, the function would look like so,

$4x-8 < 56$

Even though this is an inequality expression we can solve it like any Algebraic Expression. That being the case lets solve for x by getting x alone on one side.

$4x-8 < 56$ .... add 8 on both sides

$4x < 64$ ... divide both sides by 4

$x < 16$

Finally, we can see that the answer is x < 16

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Answer: B. X<12

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find out what number multipled by 4 is less than 56

4 x 12 = 48

56-48 = 8

And 4 is lower/less than 12 so that's why it's B

The ex- suffix often correlates a word to mean "outside", while the in- suffix often correlates a word to mean "inside". An exterior angle of a polygon would mean "an angle outside of a polygon". An interior angle of a polygon would mean "an angle inside of a polygon". Three exterior angles of this polygon would be angle B, angle D, and angle A. This is because these angles are outside of the polygon due to the extending lines from the shape. Two interior angles of this polygon would be angle 6 and angle 8 (explanation was given when I first began answering this question). Angle 9 would be exterior since it is outside of the polygon. Two exterior angles of the polygon that are congruent are angle D and angle 9, since they are both 90 degrees (right angles).
