2b < 8
My answer is that b is less than or equal to 3.9. Is that correct? If not, can you explain why it isn't, please?
b< or = to 3.9 is correct, but you could just say b<4.
Thanks :)
i don't understand it can you show me the steps?
I don get this problem:
4(x-2)<2(x-3)
Sure, let's break down the problem step by step.
4(x-2) < 2(x-3)
First, distribute the 4 and 2 inside their respective parentheses:
4x - 8 < 2x - 6
Next, combine like terms by subtracting 2x from both sides of the inequality:
4x - 2x - 8 < 2x - 2x - 6
Simplify:
2x - 8 < -6
Next, add 8 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable:
2x - 8 + 8 < -6 + 8
Simplify:
2x < 2
Finally, divide both sides of the inequality by 2 to solve for x:
(2x)/2 < 2/2
Simplify:
x < 1
So, the solution to the inequality 4(x-2) < 2(x-3) is x < 1.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
