what is 2x+4>24

Question

2x+4>24

 

Answer 1

To get the answer to this question, we need to get 'x' by itself on one side of the inequality. Always remember, whatever is done to one side of an equation or inequality also has to be done to the other side. So, let's isolate 'x'.

 

2x + 4 > 24

 

2x + 4 > 24

     - 4     -4       (Subtract 4 from the left side to get 2x by itself, since 4 - 4 = 0. Subtract 4 from the right side.)

2x       > 20   

 

2x > 20

2      2              (Divide 2x by 2 to get 'x' by itself on the left side. Divide 20 by 2 on the right side.)

 

x > 10               In order for the inequality to be true, x always has to be greater than 10.
