Answer 1

So what we gotta do is isolate the variable by

writing it out like this

4 1/4 25 those are the numbers where those go are like this

4x - 1/4 < 25 then move on to the next line on here we write out

4x + 1/4 - 1/4 < 25 + 1/4 (The reason why i put + 1/4 is because you have to isolate the variable by doing addition as well And i always find it easier to convert the fractions to decimals then after you make that line you make the next one like this you have to add 1/4 to 4x then take it away (which is 4x) then put that to the side like this 4x ? ? then we need to find those two ?s by adding 25 and 1/4 (or o.25) which is 25.25 then we need to add that to the second answer 4x ? 25.25 when you have this you need to find out which one is bigger so it is 4x<25.25 (or 25 1/4) then we need to divide 4 and 25.25 to get 6.25 so

the answer is  x < 6.25 so c is your awnser
