Question

Solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution for the inequality is $-8 < x < -4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided inequality.  

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

Add 4 to the inequality.

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

$-64 < 8x < -32$

Divide the inequality by 8.

$-8 < x < -4$

Hence the solution for the inequality is $-8 < x < -4$

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to question is:   -17/2 < x < -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x                             -68 < 8x -4 < -36

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

Simplify                                  -68 < 8x < - 32

Divide by 8                             -68 / 8 < 8/8 x < -32/8

Simplify                                  -17/2 < x < -4
