Question

Solve for X. −68 < 8x − 4 < −36

Answer 1

You want to get x in the middle by itself.

Add 4 to all pieces.

-68 < 8x-4 <-36
+4 +4 +4

-64<8x <-32

Divide everything by 8

-64/8<8x/8<-32/8

-8< x <-4

Answer:: all the number between -8 and -4 but not counting them

Answer 2

Answer:

The required solution is $-8$ in interval notation (-8,-4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided inequality.

$-68 < 8x - 4 < -36$

We need to solve the inequity for x.

Add 4 to the provided inequality.

$-68+4$

Divide both the sides by 8.

$-8$

Thus, the value of x is greater than -8 but less than -4.

The required solution is $-8$ in interval notation (-8,-4).
