Given problem;
Inequality equation;
< 6
Before we solve, let us first translate this problem.
It simply states that for what value(s) of x will the expression be less than 6.
To find this value, we can simply carry out the normal mathematical simplification.
Simply multiply both sides by 16 to reduce the fraction;
16 x () < 6 x 16
On the left hand side, 16 will cancel out;
x < 96
Any value for which x is less than 96 will make the solution of this problem less than 6.
For example, 95;
= 5.93
This value is less than 6
