Question

12 - 2x < 16 and show your work

Answer 1

12 + 2x = 16
2x = 16 - 12
2x = 4 (divide both sides by 2 to get x)
2x/2 = 4/2
x = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

X > - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract twelve from both sides

12( - 2x < 16

- 12. -12

-2x < 4

Divide both sides by -2 to undo the multiplicstion between -2 and x

-2x < 4

÷ -2 ÷ -2

x > -2

(when you Divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number you switch the sign to the opposite)
