Answer 1

Given the inequality:

$4x<8$

Let's solve for x.

To solve for x in the given inequality, divide both sides by 4:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4x}{4}<\frac{8}{4} \\ \\ x<2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

$x<2$

ANSWER:

• x < 2.

The property utilized is the multiplication property of inequality.
