Solve the following inequality. 12x + 40 < 304
To solve the inequality 12x + 40 < 304, we need to isolate x.
First, we subtract 40 from both sides:
12x + 40 - 40 < 304 - 40
Simplifying, we get:
12x < 264
Next, we divide both sides by 12:
12x/12 < 264/12
Simplifying, we have:
x < 22
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 22.
