J/4 - 8 < 4
 + 8 + 8 *add 8 to both sides to cancel -8.
j/4 < 12
*4/1 *4/1 *multiply 4/1 to both sides to cancel 1/4
j < 48

j should be less than 48 to make the inequality true.

example: j = 47
j/4 - 8 < 4
47/4 - 8 < 4
11.75 - 8 < 4
3.75 < 4

Any number below 48 will end up with an answer less than 4. if j is 48 and above, the inequality is false because the answer arrived at will be equal to or greater than 4.

Solve for x −9x+5≤17 OR 13x+25≤−1 correct answer gets: 100 points

-9x+5<17 answer x >-4/3 how I do to it
subtract -5 from both side and you get 12. so it be -9x<12
than you divide -9 from both side because you want x by it self you get -4/3 but you have to flip the sign since is negavite and you will be left over with ×>-4/3
