Solve the following inequality.
12x + 40 < 304
To solve the inequality, we can subtract 40 from both sides of the equation:
12x + 40 - 40 < 304 - 40
This simplifies to:
12x < 264
Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate the variable x:
(12x) / 12 < 264 / 12
This simplifies to:
x < 22
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 22.
