Question

Solve the inequality for x. –4x + 6 < 50

Answer 1

Answer:

x > -11  

Step-by-step explanation:  

Step 1:  Subtract 6 from both sides  

-4x + 6 - 6 < 50 - 6  

-4x < 44

Step 2:  Divide both sides by -4  

-4x / -4 < 44 / -4

If you divide by a negative number, you flip the sign.  

x > -11

 

Answer: x > -11
