4x - 1 < 11
Add 1 to both sides
4x < 12
Divide both sides by 4
x < 3
x is less than 3
So
lets say we have
a/b=2a/2b
we know that if we invert one and multiply it by the other (divide them), we get 1 because a/a=1 where a=a
so
2/3 and 4/6 are equivelent because if you divide them we get 12/12=1
2/3 and 8/12 are equivilent because if you divide them we get 24/24=1
and sinde 2/3=4/6 and 2/3=8/12, 2/3=4/6=8/12
they are equivlent
