Question

Eight less than four times a number is less then 56. What are the possible values of that number?

Answer 1

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 2

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
