Decrease of 25% means only 855 people? Okay, so you want to backtrack. If you divide by 25% you’re going to get what it was for a 75% decrease. So divide by .75 instead. 855/.75 = 1140 unemployed residents last month

✽ Hello there! ✽
4x+9<21
Move all the constants (numbers) to the right, using the opposite operation:
4x<21-9
4x<12
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x:
x<3
<h2>Therefore, x<3 ✔︎</h2>
Hope this helps!
