Inequalities and equations use similar steps to solve, but inequalities give a range of numbers that can represent the variable while an equation will give a direct answer.
Example:
4+5x=24
First you would subtract 4 or add the opposite of 4 from 24.
4+5x=24
+(-4) +(-4)
—————
5x=20
Then divide each side by 5 or multiply each side by the reciprocal of 5 to isolate the variable.
1/5*5x=20*1/5 (reciprocal)
X= 4
You would use the same steps in an inequality but end up with a different sign.
Hi there! I can help you with this! First, let's combine like terms and do everything for the right side of the problem. When you do the distributive property, you get 32x - 40. Combine like terms and you'll get 32x - 60. Now, the inequality is 20x = 32x - 60. First, let's subtract 32x from both sides to get the integer by itself. When you do that, you get -12x = -60. Now, divide each side by -12 to isolate the "x". -60/-12 is 5. Let's plug it in. 20 * 5 is 100. 32 * 5 is 160. 160 - 60 is 100. 100 = 100. There. x = 5.
E is the answer I am pretty sure.
