Question

Solve the inequality for x:
4x - 28 > 16

Answer 1

We have:

4x - 28 > 16

• Add 28 to both sides:

       $4x-28+28>16+28$

• Simplify:

       4x > 44

• Divide both sides by 4:

      $\dfrac{4x}{4}>\dfrac{44}{4}$

• Simplify:

       $\boxed{x>11}$

$\begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x>11\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(11,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}$
