What value of x is in the solution set of 4x - 12 ≤ 16 + 8x?
-10, -9, -8, -7
Solution:
Given: 4x - 12 ≤ 16 + 8x
Let's solve the inequality
⇒ 4x - 12 ≤ 16 + 8x
Add 12 on both sides
⇒ 4x - 12 + 12 ≤ 16 + 8x + 12
⇒ 4x ≤ 28 + 8x
Subtract 8x on both sides
⇒ 4x - 8x ≤ 28 + 8x - 8x
⇒ -4x ≤ 28
Divide both sides by 4.
⇒ -4x/ 4 ≤ 28/ 4
⇒ -x ≤ 7
⇒ x ≥ -7
Thus the solution set of the given inequality is (-7,∞)
What value of x is in solution set of 4x - 12 ≤ 16 + 8x?
Summary:
The value of x in the solution set of 4x - 12 ≤ 16 + 8x is (-7,∞)
