Question

Solve the following inequality -2x+12<36

Answer 1

Answer:

x>-12

Step-by-step explanation: you have the equation -2x+12 <36

so what do you do first?

you would subtract 36 on both sides like this: -2x+12-36 <-36

then you get -2x < 24

divide both sides by -2  like this : -2/-2x<24/-2

and since your dividing by -2 on both sides

the sign would be less then sign instend of a greater then

so the answer is x>-12

Answer 2

Answer: x > -12

-2x + 12 < 36
Subtract 12 from both sides
-2x < 24
Divide both sides by -2
Because you divided by a negative number, flip the sign
x > -12

Check
Choose a value for x
-11 > -12
-2(-11) + 12 < 36
22 + 12
34 < 36; is True
