How do you solve the inequality x + 8 < 12?

Back

Subtract 8 from both sides: x < 4.

Front

How do you solve the inequality n - 12 ≥ 20?

Back

Add 12 to both sides: n ≥ 32.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 6z > 54?

Back

Divide both sides by 6: z > 9.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 2x > 10?

Back

Divide both sides by 2: x > 5.

Front

How do you solve the inequality p ÷ 4 > -5?

Back

Multiply both sides by 4: p > -20.
