SOLVE 4x-6<-2
Help solve


Sagot :

The answer is x < 1.

Bring the constant to the other side.

  • 4x - 6 < 2
  • 4x < 4

Divide by 4 on both sides.

  • 4x ÷ 4 < 4 ÷ 4
  • x < 1

[tex]\rm{4x-6 < -2}[/tex]

Do you remember that we need to get x by itself to find its value?

We should do this:

⇨ Add 6 to both sides

[tex]\rm{4x-6+6 < -2+6}[/tex]

On the left hand side (lhs), the 6s add up to zero; on the right hand side (rhs), the -2 and 6 result in 4. Hence

[tex]\rm{4x < 4}[/tex]

Now divide both sides by 4

[tex]\rm{\cfrac{4x}{4} < \cfrac{4}{4}}[/tex]

Simplifying fractions gives us

[tex]\rm{x < 1}[/tex]

* what this means is: numbers less than 1 will make the statement true

[tex]\Large\texttt{Verification}[/tex]

Substitute 1 into the original inequality [tex]\boxed{4x-6 < -2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{4(1)-6 < -2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{4-6 < -2}[/tex]

Do the arithmetic

[tex]\rm{-2 < -2}[/tex]
