12> x+6 ????????

Question

Which of the following is a solution to the inequality below?

. 

a.6

b.4

c.8

d.10

Answer 1

12 > x+6

To solve the problem you need to solve for x, in order to find all values of x for which the inequality is true.

In this case to isolate x, you need to subtract 6 from both sides.

so... 12-6 > x+6-6

this simplifies to: 6>x

which means x can be any value smaller than 6 for the inequality to be true

so the answer is b
