Question

what is the answer to j/4-8<4

Answer 1

To solve the above inequality we will try to isolate j by using the opposite operation of a number that we want to remove. So,

$\frac{j}{4}-8<4$

$\frac{j}{4} -8+8<4+8$ Add 8 to each sides.

$\frac{j}{4}<12$ By combining the like terms.

$\frac{j}{4}*4<12*4$ Multiply each sides by 4 to isolate j.

j<48 By simplifying.

So, the answer is j<48.
