How do I solve one step inequality’s

Answer 1

Answer:

$x < -20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$x+8 < -12$

In order to solve one step inequalities, we solve how we would normally solve a one-step equation and then graph the answer on a number line.

$x+8 < -12$
$8-8=0$
$-12-8=-20$
$x < -20$

Now to graph the inequality on a number line, keep a few things in mind:
. x is less than -20 which means the line would go the opposite way of the negative 20.
. < is a greater than sign, not a greater than or equal sign (≤) so the number line will have a open point.
. The number line will have a point on -20.

Hope this helps.
